Re: SQL and Date Data Types

John of Canada,

Isn't the *ISO format 'ccyy-mm-dd'? The files I query all the time have the
date format of *ISO. If I use '20001026' or '2000/10/26' the query fails. It
works fine if I define it the literal as '2000-10-26'. Yes, my job had a
format of MDY and a seperator of '/', so a literal qualified as '10/26/2000'
will work, but I do feel the correct seperator is needed.
