Our ERP application uses *CYMD formatted dates (integer 7). So when we
select a date column using SQL, it's formatted as 1,020,802 (Aug 2, 2002).

I'm surprised that IBM doesn't have built-in SQL conversions for the CYMD
dates. I thought about using my earlier messages as a starting point, but I
ran into problems where the cymd date is before 2000 (0991231). The SQL
functions I tried dropped the leading zero, which in this case is
significant since it denotes the 20th century.

Has anyone come up with SQL procedures to convert a numeric CYMD to a real
date, and vice versa? The archives returned no results for "cymd date sql".

Thanks,
Loyd
