The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Take a look at this code. I allow users to key in date like 1030 for
10/30/2008, etc. The code always assumes dates to be in *USA/*MDY
format unless you give the date in a obvious format.

Subject: Figuring out Date Format
Is there an API or a BIF that I can pass in an unknown date format and
get
back a date format I can expect? I am seeing how difficult it might be
to
allow a user to enter in a date how they want. (ex. '01012008'
'01/01/2008'
'20080101') and return *ISO or something else. I could write a
subprocedure,
but I thought I would see if there is something out there that would
either
make the code easier or eliminate my needing it.
