RE: Date 8 Numeric

[Mike Haston ** Data <MHaston@xxxxxxx>]

That is still surprising that 2 lines of code would increase the runtime
like that.  Is that normal?  I have programs that do date calculations on
millions of records.  I always just assumed they ran long because they were
doing a lot of processing, which they are.

Rick,

Your code can be written

 ChrDate = %Char(%date() :*USA);

The code you show is doing unnecessary assignments
which will tend to slow it down.
