Re: Date conversion technique in QUERY

[Rajan.Srinivasan@xxxxxxxxxx]

Carl,
                 I   know one round way to do that.

On defining the Result field.


CHARD                  DIGITS(YYMMDD)                   -    This will
convert the field into  Alphanumeric

TYY                         SUBSTR(CHARD, 1, 2)

TMM                         SUBSTR(CHARD, 3, 2)

TDD                         SUBSTR(CHARD, 5, 2)

RESULT                 TMM ||  TDD ||  TYY          or       TMM  ||  '/'
||  TDD  '/'  ||  TYY

Subject:  Date conversion technique in QUERY




anyone have a quick and dirty way to convert a date (6,0) in a YYMMDD
format
to a MMDDYY format for printing in a Query?  I know I can multiply by
100.0001, however Query thinks it knows better and won't let you chop off
the left most 2 significant digits, which makes this technique not work.
(I
get the dreaded +++++++++ as the output for this field).
Surely someone has solved this little problem.
TIA,
Carl
