RE: Date Conversion

["Andrew Lutz" <alutz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My advice

Bag the DS method and create a function.

Jerry,

Why the limitation of a data structure only?

What do you mean by date format field?  Date data type or just 'formatted'

Greetings Program, (Tron ref.)

Does anybody know of a way that an 8 digit character or numeric value in a
field can be converted into a date format field by utilization of a data
structure only?

My test say probably not due to the size differential (8 to 10), but one of
you geniuses out there may know of a trick or two.

I've just got a legacy program with a gazillion move-to-date-field
operations that I'm trying to streamline.

Thanks,
Capt.j
