I have a file that I need to read based on a user-input date field (CCYYMMDD). The file field I am comparing to is a 7 digit date field (CYYMMDD). In SQL, how do I get the select statement to pull records based on a comparison of these two fields?
If we make the following assumptions: Today's date is 20060911 and it's represented in the file as 1060911, then all we have to do is to add the difference of the 2 values to the smaller to get them to compare. Select * from filename where filedate=(userdate + 19000000) bill
