RE: Adding Date Field in STRSDA ?

In the SDA I know if you have the field as an output only field you can
have it be 8 char and then on the editing keywords use the edtcde as a
Y.

If you are using the field as both input and output as an 8 char field,
I think you need to handle it in the RPG and take the 6 char value they
entered and convert it to whatever format you want with the column
separators and move this to the 8 char field in the display file.

Subject: Adding Date Field in STRSDA ?


How can I define a Date Field in AS/400 SDA Screen.

I tried to add a 8 character both text constant with +B(8) and set the
keyboard shift to 'L' but it raises error that L is not applicable for
this
type of field, any idea please, further I want to set the date format to
DMY
? How can I do so ?

I can easily do this in Code Designer of Code/400 but I could not find
such
option in AS/400 Green Screen SDA Utility.


Best Regards,

Luqman
