Re: SQL list *OUTFILE of DSPOBJD by date

Unless something has changed, the DSPOBJD is unaffected by the job's Date Format for all of its /date-like/ values except the date of the inquiry [i.e. the date the DSPOBJD was performed]. See the output from DSPFFD QSYS/QADSPOBJ which in my recollection has always showed for every ODxDAT column following a ODxCEN column, that the date format is always MMDDYY; i.e.:

Field text . . . . . . . . . : ??whatever?? date (MMDDYY)

Is it possible to ensure this functions properly even if a user does
a CHGJOB DATFMT(*YMD) and then uses the SQL suggested below?

Problem is that the SQL is expecting the date to be a certain format
MMDDYY or whatever. If the job format is changed to YYMMDD as is
more common in IT, then the SQL fails.
