Hi Sheri the date comparisons can be done with a few assumptions DATEA (from FileA) is in the format MMDDCCYY DATEB (from FileB) is in the format MMDDYY then digits(substr(DATEA, 1, 4) || substr(DATEA, 7, 2)) = DATEB or something like that Alan Shore NBTY, Inc (631) 244-2000 ext. 5019 AShore@xxxxxxxx midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx wrote on 11/28/2006 02:56:43 PM:
I need to update fields in FILEA based on a date comparison with FILEB. However, the date in FILEA is defined as 8A and the date in FILEB is defined as 6S. Is it possible to compare these fields even though they are not the same format? It's a one-time fix and I was hoping avoid writing a program. Thanks.
