I'm assuming you're wanting to do some date arithmetic on today's date? If
so, I learned the following from the F1 screen in the Define a column
section of WRKQRY.

char(current(date)- 6 months,iso)

Looks like it works, except that the value isn't numeric, and I couldn't
find a way to make it so.

Subject: AS/400 query with date - 6 months
Sent by: "MIDRANGE-L" <midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx>



I have an AS/400 query with a hardcoded date.
The date is today's date - 6 months.
Example 1160130.

I'd like to make this date a variable.

Can this be done within the query?
Or
Must it be done outside the query and pass the date as a variable to the
query?
Then, instead of calling RUNQRY, I would need to STRQMQRY.

Any thoughts from the group?

Thank You
