Re: Determine birth date 6s0 format

Well, for the birth date:

Go ahead and convert the date to a native date field. Also, put
today's date in another date field. If today's date is less than the
birth date (which, of course, can't be true), then subtract 100 years
(use SUBDUR).

Could use some help;

My client is sending a file of birthdates and loan effective dates in
mmddyy format;

For example:

A birth date of 062337 translates to 2037/06/23 Common sense dictates
this is not a valid birth date and would be 1937/06/23

Below Char_Date = 062337 and translates to 2037-06-03 in ISODATE.

What would be best practice for handeling this problem?

C *MDY TEST (D) Char_Date
19
C IF *IN19 = *OFF
C *MDY MOVE Char_Date ISODATE

Appreciate your help

Yeah I know, fixed format. Brr sldkfhgj
