Re: Date fields and moving from yyyymmdd to mmddyy

I think what irritates me most though is that we can not use the new 
solution to move an 8-digit date to a 6-digit date outside the 40-39 
window.  Users understand birthdays.  If they see a birthday of 3/31/22 on 
their screen they know it isn't 2022.    I have to go back and check stuff 
but for the moment it looks to me like I will be moving the 8-digit date 
to a 6-digit date first.  What I am after is the 8-character field with 
"/"s in place, or if the date is blank, no "/"s.

Booth,

This does create a problem for Payroll applications where an employee has 
a birth
date prior to 1940.  Right now they are turning 60 and still have some 
time to go
before retirement.
