RE: Adding Date Field in STRSDA ?

["Christen, Duane J." <dchristen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

SDA does not, AFAIK, allow you to directly create a data data type field. I
create a 10 character field and place it where I want through SDA, then I
edit the DDS and change the field from a 10 char to a "D" type field and add
the correct DATFMT which I want to show on the display, and add an
approprate EDTMSK for input/both fields.

You can use this same procedure with Time and TimeStamp data types also.

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
