Re: Date Conversion

[booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

What do you mean by "Julian date field" and "Julian System Date Field"? 
Are these both data-data types, or are you defining them as 7/0  numeric 
and 6-Alpha?  I ask because if they are both Date Data types there is no 
conversion needed.  Just call them out in the format you prefer and they 
will come out of the field formatted the way you want, automagically.

I am looking for way to convert a julian date field (0980001) to a julian 
system date field (98/001) and back.

I have tried *JUL    MOVE    DATE1      DATE2, no good invalid date 
format. 

Anyone know of a simple way to do this without having to use DS's and 
MOVEs?
