You first have to convert the numeric date into a real date.
The easiest way to convert a numeric date in the format CCYYMMDD is
Date(Digits(YourNumDate) concat '000000')

Subject: SQL Date question
I'm trying to get the day name and insert it into a table.
I've tried lots of things, none of them worked.
I want something like this, update INTERM set dayofweek =
dayofweek(dispdate)
DISPDATE is 8,0, format ccyymmdd
I've seen dayname in RPGSQL and some other ways of doing it but I can't get
it to work.
