If you go to www.think400.dk/download.htm and look for iDate, there is all
the code, objects and documenation for a User Defined Function called iDate.

Select iDate(YMDField,'*YMD') From YourFile

This output a date data type that you can do anything you want

Select iDate(Trim(YMDFieldWithBlank,'*YMD') from your file

Does the same thing.

The only catch is if you are querying from outside the AS/400 you need to
qualifiy the iDate command for it to find it.

If iDate is in UTILLIB you would need to do

Select UTILLIB.iDate(YMDField,'*YMD') from yourfile
