Second, I'm dealing with a legacy application ported years ago to the AS/400
(!) from either a System/34 or /36.
Third, there are no external table definitions except the ones that I have
created. I prefer using SQL-DDL, but I have never been about to find an
equivalent for DDS's EDTCDE and EDTWRD.
DDL's edit [equivalent to EDTCDE(J)] is find for 90-95% of the cases.
However, since I'm dealing with legacy files, the dates are 8.0 numeric
(ccyymmdd), and they get displayed as, for example, 20,110,214 in queries.
Is there any way to display dates using an edit word, such as (' - -
')? Or even something like EDTCDE(Y)? I use date data types when creating
new tables, but converting these legacy tables is, for the time being, out
of the question.
I RTFM's and could not find anything so I'm surmising that the answer is
"You're SOL." But asking is worth a shot.
