With all due respect, the below does not work. "Argument 1 of function YEAR
not valid" because the year function only works on dates, not "numbers".
Trying "set ststrdt = year(date('2000-01-01'))" results in "Value for column
or variable XXX not compatible." because you are setting a date to a single
integer value (year).
Please see my previous post for a solution. Not pretty, but works.

Thanks,
Loyd

Hello  Ron,

I do not think you can use a function that way on a SET statement.

Perhaps  SET STSTRDT =  year(2000) may work.
