Re: Complex Eval

The problem with %CHAR is that it outputs a different length based on
the value of the number (rather than the length of the field).
Shouldn't matter for a YEAR, since a year will probably always be a
4-digit number. But... you don't want to use it for a month or day,
since these will sometimes be 1-digit and sometimes 2-digit.

But, even with %CHAR, I think the formula is more complicated than it
needs to be. I'd rather see the following (as I posted in a previous
message)

pr_year = %rem(%subdt(iso_date:*Y): 100);

Try %Char instead...

%dec(%subst(%char(%subdt(iso_date:*y)):3:2):2:0)
