Re: An easy (I think) SQL question

The field appears to be CYYMMDD. It would be fairly simple to subtract 3 months from the first of today's month and then convert that date to TestCYMD, another CYYMMDD field, in *INZSR. Then the SQL statement becomes quite straight forward. It is a simple "where field is => than TestCYMD".
