I would like to list the *OUTFILE of DSPOBJD by date.

Since DSPOBJD provides the incredibly ugly date format MMDDYY, I would like to convert it to a date with year 99 going to the end of the descending order.

What is a good method to do this?

Do I have to construct the date such as shown below?

But even then the year 99 pops to the top (it should be at the end).

I think I have to use DATE and CHAR and TRIM to build the date.

How do I force it to take MMDDYY and calc 1900 or 2000?

*MDY??

Is there a simpler, better way? (There must be :))

Thanks!

select ODLBNM,ODOBNM,ODOBTP,
substr(ODCDAT,5,2) || '-' || substr(ODCDAT,1,2)
|| '-' || substr(ODCDAT,3,2)
as CreateDate,

ODOBTX
from qtemp/dspqry
order by CreateDate desc
