RE: Embedded SQL - fetching a date

Matt,

I'm not sure what errors you were running into that made you think you
have to use Like() defines for MODS subfields, but I was able to define
the subfields with explicit definitions.

Kurt,
        Here is what I seem to understand.  It looks like you NEED to
make sure the date formats from SQL and your program are the same.  I
kept getting date, time, timestamp errors if they were not. (So, I will
be changing the SET OPTION DATFMT = *ISO since I apparently have not
used date fields only timestamp fields.)  
        
        Another thing concerns the host structure.  If you are going to
use MODS, then you MUST like() define the subfields.  I tried many times
to explicitly define each sub field, only to have the pre-compiler bark
about the host structure.  If you host structure is not a MODS then its
okay to explicitly define them.  


Thank you,
