RE: Get month from date zone

The OP said he already tried that....

Instead try:
gMs = %editc(%dec(%SUBDT( AFinDt : *MONTHS ):2:0):'X');

David:

Try this:

gMs = %editc(%SUBDT( AFinDt : *MONTHS ):'X');

%SUBDT returns an integer, so you need to convert it to character. Edit
Code
'X' will do that (with a leading zero).

Help !

gMs = %SUBDT ( AFinDt : *MONTHS );

But gMs is 2 character field.

I naively tried %EDITC 'X' which obviously gives me '00'

%CHAR gives '40' if the date is April.
