Well, if you know the selection criteria, you could do something like:

update taxfile set yearfield = 20141225 where yearfield = 20141201

Backup copy first of course, but it's straightforward.

All i know at this point is that it appears to be a date field...wrong year

Hi all,
I just found out a tax file will need be updated to correct an incorrect
date field.
I have not used DFU that much..i know i can change specific records in a
file via the record number but how can DFU change a date field in 15,000
records uni this file.
Thanks
