Jim,

Write a SQL function which gets passed the numeric field and an edit code or edit word and returns a formatted text string? There's probably a function like that already written and out there on the net.

You can use the DIGITS() function to create 20110622 as a text string.

Subject: sql in strsql and something like editc or editw

Sometime I run quick sql's for users and give a print key. They want the dates (numeric 8.0) to not look like 20,110,622.
Would prefer 2011-06-22 or even 20110622.
Forget that this is a date (same problem w/ssn, etc) how to simply (in a few seconds)apply edit codes to numbers in sql select.
