If you are going to always use 6 months previous insuring that you won't ever want to search for records before a 19YY-MM-DD date, and you really are using DSPOBJD as a start, then this works:

Field Expression
ODUDATCYMD ODUCEN||substr(odudat,5,2)||
substr(odudat,3,2)||
substr(odudat,1,2)

SIXI char(current(date)-6 months,iso)


SIXCYMD '1'||substr(sixi,3,2)||
substr(sixi,6,2)||
substr(sixi,9,2)

AND/OR Field Test Value (Field, Number, 'Characters', or
..)
ODUDATCYMD LT sixcymd


Objects with no lasted used date will appear in this list as Blanks is less whatever your date ends up being.

Below is my query select.

ODUDATCYMD LT '1160130'

DSPOBJD to an output file results with ODUDAT Last used date
(MMDDYY)
To compare an object's last use date, the ODUDAT needs to be reformatted with the century added.
ODUDATCYMD is a result field from century year month day.

ODUDATCYMD ODUCEN || ODUDATY || ODUDATM || ODUDATD Last
Used Date (CYYMMDD)

I would like to replace the hardcoded literal '1160130' with a variable.

Paul

I'm assuming you're wanting to do some date arithmetic on today's date?
If so, I learned the following from the F1 screen in the Define a column section of WRKQRY.

char(current(date)- 6 months,iso)

Looks like it works, except that the value isn't numeric, and I couldn't find a way to make it so.

I have an AS/400 query with a hardcoded date.
The date is today's date - 6 months.
Example 1160130.

I'd like to make this date a variable.

Can this be done within the query?
Or
Must it be done outside the query and pass the date as a variable to the query?
Then, instead of calling RUNQRY, I would need to STRQMQRY.

Any thoughts from the group?

Thank You
