Re: SQLRPGLE - current date - 7 days as a numeric field

Birgette's suggestion worked quite well:

dec(current_date - 7 days, 9, 0)

I have a UDF to convert from a numeric(8) date in *ISO format to an actual date data type.


Here's my code (you'd need to change to handle your numeric(9)):
BEGIN
--bogus date
IF ( DATEIN = 0 ) THEN
RETURN NULL ;
END IF ;

RETURN CAST ( SUBSTR ( DIGITS ( DATEIN ) , 1 , 4 ) || '-' || SUBSTR ( DIGITS ( DATEIN ) , 5 , 2 ) || '-' || SUBSTR ( DIGITS ( DATEIN ) , 7 , 2 ) AS DATE ) ;


END
