Re: How to extract day from date

Hello,

If you want to extract the day from the system date ( I assume it as the 
numeric day)....You could try it with this sample RPGLE code.

     DDATE1            S               D   DATFMT(*MDY)
     C     *MDY          MOVE      UDATE         DATE1
     C                   EXTRCT    DATE1:*D      DAY               2
     C     DAY           DSPLY
     C     DATE1         DSPLY
     C                   SETON LR

If you want to do the same from CL....

             PGM
             DCL        VAR(&DATE1) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(6)
             DCL        VAR(&DAY) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(2)
             RTVSYSVAL  SYSVAL(QDATE) RTNVAR(&DATE1)
             CHGVAR     VAR(&DAY) VALUE(%SST(&DATE1 3 2))
             ENDPGM
 
 I have assumed the system date to be available in MDY format.
Based on the system date format on your system, decide on the extraction 
positions.


Thanks,
