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

Jon

I need to build a date range from a numeric field. I then use the dates in a
SELECT search that uses BETWEEN dates.

It was a debug operation because I could not see why I was getting the
select results I got.

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
