Hi Dina
here is one suggestion
FLD6 is a decimal so you can convert that into character by the use of
DIGITS(FLD6)
This can then be parsed out (love that word) - I am assuming the date in
FLD6 is of the format ddmmyy
SUBSTR(DIGITS(FLD6), 5, 2) || SUBSTR(DIGITS(FLD6), 3, 2) || SUBSTR(DIGITS
(FLD6), 1, 2)
where || is concatenation (I forget the word to use)
This can then be compared to the last six characters of SYSDATE
SELECT FLD1, FLD2, FLD3, FLD4
FROM MYFILE
WHERE
SUBSTR(DIGITS(FLD6), 5, 2) || SUBSTR(DIGITS(FLD6), 3, 2) || SUBSTR(DIGITS
(FLD6), 1, 2) =
SELECT SUBSTR(SYSDATE, 3, 6) FROM SYSPARM WHERE ENV= "PRD")

Hi All,
Could you please advise me with this query:
SELECT FLD1, FLD2, FLD3, FLD4
FROM MYFILE
WHERE FLD6 = (SELECT SYSDATE FROM SYSPARM WHERE ENV= "PRD")
The problem is FLD6 is decimal of 6 containing data like 160210
and SYSDTAE is char of 8 containting date like 20100216. and I can not make
the comparison...
Thanks in advance for your help
Dina
