An ad hoc query from my history - HRPRDT is 8p0 in the database.
select * from mhtr where
date(substr(char(hrprdt),1,4) concat '-' concat
substr(char(hrprdt),5,2) concat '-' concat substr(char(hrprdt),7,2))
= current date - 1 day

Subject: SQL and Dates, help needed

I'm trying to select all the records in a file that have yesterday's
date.
The field in the file is defined as numeric 8 positions and 0 decimals.
It is in a YYYYMMDD format.

I would think a Select with Current Date - 1 would work but is does not.

any suggestions.

thanks

al
