Hi All,



I realize this doesn't belong in the RPG list, but I just figured this out and I'm excited about it. Besides, you can use it to prepare generic SQL statements in an RPG program (which is what I need it for), so maybe it's germane.



(If everybody already knew how to do this, I wish someone would've let me know. And if there's a better way, please let me know that too)



SELECT * FROM <file-name> WHERE

DATE(CASE WHEN CHARACTER_LENGTH(mmddyyDATE) = 5 THEN

'0' CONCAT SUBSTR(CHAR(mmddyyDATE),1,1) CONCAT '/'

CONCAT SUBSTR(CHAR(mmddyyDATE),2,2) CONCAT '/'

CONCAT SUBSTR(CHAR(mmddyyDATE),4,2)

ELSE SUBSTR(CHAR(mmddyyDATE),1,2) CONCAT '/'

CONCAT SUBSTR(CHAR(mmddyyDATE),3,2) CONCAT '/'

CONCAT SUBSTR(CHAR(mmddyyDATE),5,2)

END)

BETWEEN '2008-10-01' AND '2010-10-31'
