Re: SQL Question

Don't know if anyone mentioned using iDate.

SELECT FLD1, FLD2, FLD3, FLD4
FROM MYFILE
WHERE iDate(FLD6,'*DMY') = (SELECT iDate(SYSDATE,'*CCYMD')
FROM SYSPARM
WHERE ENV= "PRD")

UDF available as a free download at www.think400.dk/downloads.htm.

Thanks a lot Alain for your help and for all the other replies I got.



Finally, the people who are responsible for MYFILE decide to change the
description to

char (8) ISO format.



Thanks and best regards

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
