Re: AW: Embedded SQL formatting dates

The problem I am facing is that I want to group daily data by week where the date is cyymmmd 7/0 in a many-row history file. I haven't yet figured out how to use SQL's Week function with *cymd, or, alternatively, plug an RPG line in the middle of the group-by. Substringing the data is the only way I have found, and that seems pretty ham-handed. At the moment your suggestion of an intermediate file is looking pretty good.

handle data conversions from whatever raw input I have to the
normalised columns that SQL demands. ...
