RE: How to convert date in SQL

[Gord Royle <GRoyle@xxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like you're a BPCS user where all of the dates are stored as numbers.
You have to jump through hoops. 

Something like.

select date(substring(Char(LHDATE),1,4) || '-' ||
substring(Char(LHDATE),5,2) || '-' || substring(Char(LHDATE),7,2)) as
Date_Formatted
 from "PRDBPCS"."PRODF"."GLH" T1
