Take a look at iDate at www.think400.dk/downloads.htm. Free. Converts from
any numeric or character value to a date data type or null if invalid.

If ISO was your default Select iDate(Numeric) from xxx is all you need. If
you default format is something else, select iDate(Numeric,'*CCYMD') from
xxx is all you need.

All,
V6R1 system.
Using SQL, how do I convert a numeric value of a database field in ISO date
format (ccyymmdd) to a DATE data type for comparison?
I need to select all records with a date that is equal to a value input by
the user.

TIA,
