RE: Date conversion

I suggested this but it didn't work as far as I can tell. Sorry.

This might help .. you'll have to test it out.
Open ACS Run SQL Scripts
Click "edit" in the toolbar
Open JDBC Configuration
Click 'edit"
Click format and change date format as you like.

Subject: Date conversion

Hello all,

I have what is surely a simple question but I can't seem to find an answer to it. I have a work file that I've created that contains the output of the DSPOBJD command for a particular library. This file has the field ODUDAT, which is the date last used field. It's a character field in the MMDDYY format. I'm using Run SQL Scripts in ACS to then query this file, but I'd like to convert this date to YYYYMMDD format so that I can order the query results by the most recent date. The only way I can find that comes close to working so far is just to substring the ODUDAT field into the month, day, and year portions and then play with it that way. I'm sure there's a more elegant method that will just yield a YYYYMMDD field. Thoughts?

Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
