Re: Sunday Moment ...


Jon,

If the dates are valid/real dates, then I would use the RPG internal date functions %DATE and %CHAR. %DATE to convert the char field to a "date" then %CHAR to turn the "date" back into an edited character field.

i.e.

w_date = '20160523'

%CHAR(%DATE(w_date : *ISO0) : *USA);

Result is '05/23/2016'

%DATE input is format *ISO0
%CHAR output is format *USA

Hope this helps.

Doug
