Hi Sai,

Declare that date field as the charecter format(CHAR8). so that it will come as the blank.

otherwise it comes in 0000000 format only.

Thanks!

Hi Sai,

If you give the DATS...

the initial value of DATS always be the 0000000.

so give the CHAR8.

The initial value would be space.

that is you query right ....showing the space when date is initial......

Thanks!
