date format

[Former Member]

hi folks,

I am reading the date from the table in 'mmddyyyy' and I want to modify the date to this format 'mm/dd' how to do that?

thanks

data: date(10) type c value '07122005'.
data: monthday(5) type c.

monthday+0(2) = date+0(2).
monthday+2(1) = '/'.
monthday+3(2) = date+3(2).


Write monthday.

Just wondering why the data is being stored like mmddyyyy. Shouldn't it be being stored as yyyymmdd?

Hi,

Alternatively you can use concatenate statement.

concatenate date0(2) date2(2) into monthday separated by '/'.
