RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: ISO date format with / instead of -

Hi Rodger - it took me a while to locate the web page that I was thinking of

Could you use embedded SQL in your program
Have a look at the following to see if it gives you what you are looking for

Not missing anything Roger.

*ISO is a standard and "it wouldn't be a standard if you could change it"

Any reason why it has to be a slash? It really is non-standard.

I need to edit an ISO (yyyymmdd) date but with a slash delimiter. *ISO/ appears to not be available.

I can do a scanrpl() on %char(%date(myCYMD : *CYMD) : *ISO-) if needed.

Am I missing some syntax or option here?

V7R2.

Thanks.
