Re: Convert a date field to a 10,0 packed field

I don't understand why you are even using SQL if this really is your code.

You stated that wSched_Date is a date field (assumedly ISO).

So to convert it to numeric you simply code:

wCur_Date_To = %Dec(wSched_Date);

That assumes that the numeric version is to be the same format as the original - if that is NOT what you want then specify the format as the second parm.

eg, wCur_Date_To = %Dec(wSched_Date : *USA ); // _Target_ format is *USA

c eval wCount = 0

exec sql values CAST(wCurrent_Date as decimal(8,0))

into :wCur_Date_To;



exec sql values CAST((wCurrent_Date - 7 days) as decimal(8,0))

into :wCur_Date_From;
