Or if you're not on V5R4;

monitor;
yymmdd = %int(%char(%date(mmddyy:*mdy):*ymd0))
on-error;
yymmdd = *zeros;
endmon;

I apologize if this does not come in plain text. I have no idea how to
make Notes send in plain text format.

AW: Those flippin dates







Hi,

Try the following:

Hi,

Try the following
YYMMDDNum = %Dec(%Date(MMDDYYNum: *MDY): *YMD);

In SQL there is no easy way to convert the numeric dates.
If it is possible, convert the date before executing the SQL-Statement and
use the numeric result as host variable.
This will result in a better performance than converting the date within
the
SQL-Statement.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

What would be the most expedient way to convert a 6.0 numeric field that
represents a date in MMDDYY format to a 6.0 numeric field that
represents a date in YYMMDD order? The resultant numeric is used in an
SQL statement comparing it to a numeric (not a date) field. The old
technique of YYMMDD = MMDDYY * 10000.0001 appears not to work because
the program is cranky at runtime about the result field not being large
enough.

Since the compare is a numeric I figured that the math would be
numeric. Or, is using a date field and converting it to a numeric host
variable for the SQL the way to go?
