Re: Date to Jan 1 this year - 3year

[Joel Cochran <jrc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Bill,

Just to clarify, Procedures and /free are not intrinsically related...

How about something simple:

<psuedo-code>

d myDateStr         ds
d  year                     4  0   
d  dash1                    1      inz( '-' )
d  month                    2  0   inz( 1 )
d  dash2                    1      inz( '-' )
d  day                      2  0   inz( 1 )

c                   eval       year = %subdt( %date() - %years(3) : *y )

</psuedo-code>

Now myDateStr should equal '20000101' as a string.  You could even then
use the string to get a real date field...

c                   eval       myDate = %date( myDateStr )


HTH,

Joel
