You could then do something like this -- (for example with an outfile
in QTEMP created with the DSPOBJD command), -- using SQL:
update QTEMP/DSPOBJD
set ODCDAT = substr(ODCDAT,5,2) || substr(ODCDAT,1,2) ||
substr(ODCDAT,3,2)
[...]
set ODJDAT = substr(ODJDAT,5,2) || substr(ODJDAT,1,2) ||
substr(ODJDAT,3,2)
to change all of those fields with dates stored as "MMDDYY" to
"YYMMDD" in one pass over the file ...
Then, you can query more easily, sorting those dates is much
easier, etc.
