Subject: SQL dates and numeric columns
Hi,
Trying to do date operations on a physical file where the date is coded in
3 different numeric fields Y, M and D
1 - I created a view, can I do better than this :
date(trim(char(Y))!!'-'!!trim(char(M))!!'-'!!trim(char(D))) "MyDate"
?
2 – This works in an SQL session but the RPG compiler doesn’t seem to like the ‘ !’ character. Any ideas ?
Thanks
