I have an 8.0 field in a file. I want to do something like this:

Select Date(Num_Field) as Mydate...

I can see how to do it with a CAST on a character field - what do I need
to do for a numeric field in CCYYMMDD format? It's not really ISO...at
least I can't see how to specify no seperators.

Thanks...
