Re: Formatting a DATE differently using SQL


That did it! Thanks!

I have to say that I've never seen it done this easily, though.

To further the discussion (and for the sake of the archives), how could it be handled if the DATFMT or separator was something different?

Thanks again!
Robert

Assuming your DATFMT is *MDY, the date separator id *SLASH separator and
the column dayid is defined as a date, could be as easy as :

CHAR( dayid, LOCAL )

If dayid is defined as something other than a date, you'd need to convert
it from its current format into a date.
