current_month

Specifies the month of the year required to be returned when the ACCEPT identifier FROM DATE syntax or the CURRENT-DATE intrinsic function is used.

Restrictions:

Micro Focus does not recommend use of this tunable in an Enterprise Server environment.
This tunable is supported for native COBOL only.

Syntax:

>>-----set current_month=---integer------><

Parameters:

integer

A value in the range 1 through 12, representing the required month of the year. The value you specify is returned when you use the ACCEPT identifier FROM DATE syntax or the CURRENT-DATE intrinsic function.

Note: A leading 0 indicates to the system that the value should be treated as octal. As a result, month values of 08 and 09 generate an error. For the months of September and October, use 8 and 9 rather than 08 and 09.

Properties:

Default:	The current month specified by the system clock.
IDE equivalent:	Project > Properties > Date/Time Warp > Month

Comments:

Project > Properties > Date/Time Warp > Month

If the datewarp_dynamic tunable is set to TRUE, the month value specified is treated as the month the clock is started, and changes when the system clock passes midnight on the last day of each month.
