If your example is alpha, You can pick off the year in your example by right(trim(MyDate),4). If numeric, cast MyDate with digits().

Subject: SQL Date function question
I've got a program that uses dynamic SQL and I'm having a hard time
finding documentation for this, or to find out if it's even possible.
The file contains a date in the format MMDDCCYY. I need to compare
the year entered in a query with the year in the date. At first I
thought I could just substring off characters 5-8, but that won't work
since for example:
Jan 1, 2011
is stored as
112011
So obviously that won't work. :)
Does SQL on the iSeries have a way to convert this type of date to
something and then yank the year out to compare it against a text
literal?
Thanks!
Brad
