RE: Date conversion question

alphadate = '1100802144806' ;
datefld = %date(%subst(alphadate:2:6):*YMD0) ;

Tested this and it seems to work.

subject: Date conversion question

All -

I'm using the QUSRMBRD API to retrieve member description information.

The member creation date is a 13-byte alpha value returned in the form
CYYMMDDHHMMSS.

Example: '1100802144806' (August 8, 2010, 14:48:06)

What is the correct way to convert this value into a date field for
performing a date comparison in an RPG program?

Regards,
sjl
