RE: Date 8 Numeric

["Chevalier, Rick" <Rick.Chevalier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Werner,

Have you noticed any degradation in run times using this statement?  

I added the following lines to a simple program recently and the run time
increased from 4 to 30 minutes.  I haven't had a chance yet to go back and
try to identify the exact line.  It was really surprising though.

ISODate = %Date();             
USADate = ISODate;             
ChrDate = %Char(USADate :*USA);

If you are already on V5R2, you can do it in a one line statement:

// Convert current date to numeric field
#DatNumISO=%int(%char(%date():*iso0));  

Great, isn't it?

Hi All,

This should be simple but I've looked and looked...

I just need to initialize an 8 digit numeric field with today's date in
YYYYMMDD...

I can do it if I jump through hoops with a date-type field and parsing out
the actual numbers but isn't there a simpler solution using UDATE or *DATE
or a single move?

Thanks in advance,
                        Jerry
