Re: query question

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for but, use the 'Define 
Result Fields' part of query.  Define a field name(YEAR2).  Define the 
expression using SUBSTR(MMDDYY,5,2).  If you want to make MMDDYY into 
YYYYMMDD then use the following expression: '20' || SUBSTR(MMDDYY,5,2) || 
SUBSTR(MMDDYY,1,4).

I hope this helps.

query question






Hi I forget how to parse out a piece of a field. I can use a query rather
than RPG on one assignment but the date is mmddyy. I need to parse out the
year and then the month. I tried looking in the archives to no avail.
Thanks,
Steve
