Hi Folks !

I KNOW many people in the past have condemed the use of the MULT
statements to convert dates from YYMMDD to MMDDYY but I also know that
TONS of folks used this too...

How are you handling this with "full" dates ? I'm setting up some test
programs (we use package software that is Y2K ready) of my own and have
a test file with YEAR, MONTH and DAY sorted by YEAR so it works like
YYMMDD but is there an "easy way" to edit this other than a data area (I
know, lazy...)...

Or how are you handling this ?

Thanks,

Chuck
