Jim,

All those reference fields kind of loses the example.  Is your date field,
TRSHFD, defined as a D type date field, or a numeric or character field in
which you store a 8 digit date?

Yes you can James...........

Here is an example of SST out parts of a field, in this case it is a date
field.

Subject: substring date fields in logical files


I have a physical file that contains a date field in it.  I want to create
a logical file over it that is keyed by just the year and month portion of
the date field.  The DDS manual tells me that I can't use SST on date
fields.  Anyone know a way I can create a field in a logical file that is
a portion of a date field?
