Re: Date Conversion function

Again, strange that ibm would not know the answer ;-)

If SOME_DATE represents the MMDDYY, then the MMDDYY is already a date data type.? If not date data type, then what is the input type for the noted conversion? Is the inquiry about presentation only, possibly even irrespective of type? If type is important, then what is the output type for the noted conversion?

Also FWiW "Julian" is not IME described by CYYMMDD, instead by either YYYYDDD or YYDDD.

Regards, Chuck

I can always do this:
-- CONVERT MMDDYY TO CYYMMDD
SET JULIAN = ( YEAR ( SOME_DATE ) - 1900 ) * 10000
+ ( MONTH ( SOME_DATE ) * 100 )
+ DAY ( SOME_DATE ) ;

in what language?

in CL use CVTDAT, in RPG just move the data into a Date field.

Is there a built-in function to convert MMDDYY to CYYMMDD?
