We are just beginning to use RPGiv here - and many of you probably know how this should be done, so .... We are looking to our Year 2000 changes. This brings us to the DATE type field, and some areas of confusion: I read a file with numeric fields for dates which = 0. When I try to convert these to a date field, it results in 01/01/0001. When I try to convert this back to a 6,0 numeric field, it gives an error because it must be in a date range 1940 to 2039 to convert to a 6,0. We need to be able to convert back to numeric format for output to display file and printer file DDS. How should this be handled? thx -saskia +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to "MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com". | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MAJORDOMO@midrange.com | and specify 'unsubscribe MIDRANGE-L' in the body of your message. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
