Re: SQL Date function question

Clarification (which I tried to do before).

Date is stored 8,0P. Format is MMDDCCYY

Jan 1, 2011 is stored as

1012011

Oct 10, 2011 is stored as

10102011

Does this help? :)

Then the digits function will give you what you need. Jan 1, 2011 would
be returned as '01012011', which you can easily substring (or maybe with
a few more leading zeros, depending on how the existing data is defined
in the database.)
