Also, is there a way to specify a "date" type of field that will allow you
to specify a century window to FMTDTA so that you can correctly sort by date
on fields that only have a 2-digit year?
Indirectly, using a force.
This file has a date in positions 2-7 in mmddyy format.
It looks at position 6 (the decade) and if it is greater
than 4, forces a 1 so 96 will sort before 06.
Note that the sort length on the H spec has to be one
greater than the actual sort fields (7 instead of 6) to
accommodate the forced field. The forced field will not
be in the resulting file.
HTH,
