RE: Another SQL newbie question

DATE( SUBSTR( DIGITS( DateField ), 1, 4 ) || '-' ||
SUBSTR( DIGITS( DateField ), 5, 2 ) || '-' ||
SUBSTR( DIGITS( DateField ), 7, 2 ) )

This converts the numeric value to an ISO date format text string then converts that to a date with DATE().

Anybody know of a good way to get an SQL DATE in a view, from a date
stored YYYYMMDD in a zoned decimal(8,0) in the PF?
