You can do this: 1) TODAY = CURRENT(DATE) 2) CURDAT = CHAR(TODAY) 3) CURYMD = '20'||SUBSTR(CURDAT,7,2)|| SUBSTR(CURDAT,1,2)|| SUBSTR(CURDAT,4,2) 4) INPUTDATE=DIGITS(Your YYYYMMDD date field) Then, you can compare CURYMD with INPUTDATE. On the other side, if you want to check for the previous date, I do not know how to handle that in a clean manner in a query. Better then, you can develop a CLP that will have a command that will help you to nicely go back one day and send the parameters to the query. That's more cleaner. I found some help for this part of the solution on: http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid3_gci1003100,00.html?track=NL-17&ad=490375 My 0.02 cents. Good luck!
