RE: embedded sql date select

Well, you could convert the field from MDY to YMD using DIGITS and SUBSTR
and DECIMAL, something like:

DECIMAL(
SUBSTR(DIGITS(MYDATE),5,2) CONCAT
SUBSTR(DIGITS(MYDATE),1,4), 6, 0)

Once you have it in a usable format, you can just use the BETWEEN operator.
Of course, if you're dealing with pre-2000 dates you'll need to take into
account the century.

I am attempting to select records in a file on a date stored as mdy in
a
6s 0 field.

could use the between option or as greater than one date and less than
another.

so far my solutions are far from elegant.

does anyone have an example of an rpg program to generate an sql select
statement to do this?

the date fields in the file may have zeros or other invalid dates in
them
