IBM has embraced SQL on our platform as an industry standard. I do not see IBM making proprietary enhancements to SQL. If anything, SQL is a lowest common denominator statement for the platform, Al Al Barsa, Jr. Barsa Consulting Group, LLC 400>390 914-251-1234 914-251-9406 fax http://www.barsaconsulting.com http://www.taatool.com "Goodbar, Loyd (AFS-Water To: "'midrange-l@midrange.com'" <midrange-l@midrange.com> Valley)" cc: <LGoodbar@afs.bwau Subject: CYMD dates and SQL to.com> Sent by: midrange-l-admin@m idrange.com 08/02/2002 09:42 AM Please respond to midrange-l This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] 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".
