I always try to use ISO dates:

where ORDDAT between '1960-01-01' and '2000-12-31'

my sql statement is like below:-

SELECT * FROM p2
WHERE ORDDAT BETWEEN 01/01/1960 AND 31/12/2000

Comparison operator BETWEEN operands not compatible.

File P2 is having ORDDAT field as a date field and is defined using

'L'

data type.

So I want to filter records between some specific date range but

unable

to

do so because of the mentioned error.
So need guidance how could i remove this error to get desired

results?

Thanks much..
