RE: UDF problems in STRSQL

In my experimentation, CAST does not affect results. I still get the
selection error on the production file. On the test file (without
DATFMT(*USA) on the field names), I do not get any errors and still do
not get the expected result set no matter what the DATFMT is in the
STRSQL session. I even tried converting the date to character before
casting it back to date with the same results.

Thanks for the suggestion,
Roger Mackie

Interesting thought. I don't know that much about CAST and didn't find a
way to use it to specify a date format attribute in the manuals, but I
was only skimming. Tomorrow is another day...

Thanks,
