Date Editing in Query -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

During our Y2K testing, we discovered that our numeric field that holds our
date value (in this example 20000229) when using the date numeric editing
function of Query/400 yields 0/02/29 instead of 00/02/29.  Using edit code,
you can get 2000/02/29, but needless to say that would at least require
writing queries.

IBM says this function was only intended for MMDDYY fields, but the manual
doesn't really document that.  I'm just wondering if there is anyone else
who is inconvenienced by this.
