Re: *MDY Valid Dates

Use SQL.

Open a session and type this:
VALUES DATE(TIMESTAMP_FORMAT('10/9/24', 'MM/DD/RRRR'))

or this:
VALUES DATE(TIMESTAMP_FORMAT('1/9/24', 'MM/DD/RRRR'))

...and you'll get the results you're looking for.

We are receiving a tab delimited file from a partner with dates like
10/5/24. I'm storing it in an alpha field.

I tried converting to *ISO using %DATE(mydate:*MDY) and it fails in the
monitor loop.

Thanks, Art
