Hi group,

I have a procedure that takes in an 8s 0 date in YYYYMMDD format and
returns the same date in DDMMYYYY format, and have converted it from fixed
to free format.

This is the code I came up with, but my gut feeling tells me there must be
a better and more elegant way.

? ? ?p IsoEuro ? ? ? ? b ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? export
? ? ?d IsoEuro ? ? ? ? pi ? ? ? ? ? ? 8s 0
? ? ?d DateNum ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?8s 0 value
? ? ?d AtoI ? ? ? ? ? ?PR ? ? ? ? ? ?10i 0 ExtProc('atoi')
Alpha to Integer
? ? ?d ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? * ? value options(*string)
? ? ? //
? ? ? /FREE
? ? ? ?return atoi(%subst(%char(%date(DateNum:*ISO):*EUR):1:2)
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?%subst(%char(%date(DateNum:*ISO):*EUR):4:2)
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?%subst(%char(%date(DateNum:*ISO):*EUR):7:4));
? ? ? ?//
? ? ? /END-FREE
? ? ?p IsoEuro ? ? ? ? e

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.
