This can be quite easily done in Query/400. However, I recommend you
create a "view" that does this. This will prevent you from having to put
this logic into every query that uses this combo.
Let's say I have a table that has these fields: myear, mmonth, mday (among
others).
If I do the following:
create view qtemp/marcol1 as (
select date(digits(myear) concat '-' concat
digits(mmonth) concat '-' concat
digits(mday)) as RealDate,
a.*
from qtemp/marco a)
I can now query this view, or logical file, in Query:
select *
from qtemp/marcol1
....+....1....+....2....+....3..
REALDATE MYEAR MMONTH MDAY
2006-05-01 2,006 5 1
******** End of data ********
This will save you from putting all that logic in every Query.
Again it is now a true date field:
select days(current date) - days(realdate) as AgingDays,
marcol1.*
from qtemp/marcol1
+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+...
AGINGDAYS REALDATE MYEAR MMONTH MDAY
497 2006-05-01 2,006 5 1
**** End of data ********
