I'm working with World and I'm trying to find the best way to convert the date field. On our system the date is in P7 format. Here is an example date.
105135
1 = Y2K (fix) 1=2000
05 = Year
135 = day of year

Anyone want to chime in?

TIA

try this:
DEFINE FILE F1501B
SEF1 /A6 = EDIT(NEEFTB);
SEF2 /A5 = EDIT(SEF1,'$99999');
SEF3 /I5 = EDIT(SEF2);
SEF4 /I6 = GREGDT (SEF3,'I6');
SEF5 /A6 = EDIT (SEF4);
SEFMM /A2 = EDIT (SEF5,'$$99$$');
SEFDD /A2 = EDIT (SEF5,'$$$$99');
SEFYY /A2 = EDIT (SEF5,'99$$$$');
SEFCENT /A2 = IF SEFYY GE '90' THEN '19' ELSE '20';
SEFDATE1 /A8 = SEFCENT||SEF5;
SEFDATE2 /I8YYMD = EDIT(SEFDATE1);
NEEFTB_DATE /MDYY = SEFDATE2;
END

I think this will work in 4 steps. I've assumed if the year is not 20nn that it is 19nn.

 DEFINE FILE EMPDATA
DATE_INPUT/P7      = 105135;
DATE_INT/I5L       = IMOD(DATE_INPUT, 100000, DATE_INT);
DATE_INT_YYJ/I7    = IF ((DATE_INPUT-DATE_INT)/100000) EQ 1 
                      THEN 2000000 + DATE_INT 
				       ELSE 1900000 + DATE_INT;
DATE_I8YYMD/I8YYMD = GREGDT(DATE_INT_YYJ, 'I8YYMD');
DATE_YYMD/YYMD     = DATE_I8YYMD;
END
TABLE FILE EMPDATA
PRINT DATE_INPUT 
      DATE_INT
	  DATE_INT_YYJ
	  DATE_I8YYMD
      DATE_YYMD
BY PIN
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 1
END

As Karen intimates, the date you have is almost a julian date so correcting the year portion so that it is a full julian date will provide your answer.

You could also bypass the first two steps in Karen's excellent solution by adding 1900000 to your input date, within the GREGDT step - DATE_I8YYMD/I8YYMD = GREGDT((1900000 + DATE_INPUT), 'I8YYMD');

But as Karen has said, it all depends upon how the 1900 dates are represented.

To expand on Karens code and to allow a 1900 date to be checked, try this code -
APP FI INDATES DISK INDATES.MAS (LRECL 80
-RUN
-WRITE INDATES FILE=INDATES,SUFFIX=FOC
-WRITE INDATES SEGNAME=SEG1
-WRITE INDATES FIELD=DATE_INPUT,   ,P7   ,P7   , $
CREATE FILE INDATES
MODIFY FILE INDATES
FIXFORM DATE_INPUT/A7
DATA
097256
105135
END
DEFINE FILE INDATES
  DATE_I8YYMD/I8YYMD = GREGDT((1900000 + DATE_INPUT), 'I8YYMD');
  DATE_YYMD/YYMD     = DATE_I8YYMD;
END
TABLE FILE INDATES
  PRINT DATE_INPUT 
        DATE_I8YYMD
        DATE_YYMD
END

Trob,

I perform the date conversions when creating the metadata. This is an example from the Business Unit Master:

FIELDNAME=MCD1J1, ALIAS=MCD1J, USAGE=YYMD, ACTUAL=DATE,
TITLE='MCD1J', $
FIELDNAME=MCD1J2, ALIAS=MCD1J, USAGE=YYMD, ACTUAL=DATE,
TITLE='Planned, Start', DESCRIPTION='Planned Start Date', $

Brilliant solution with the adding 1900000, that didn't cross my mind. I don't have any pre-y2k data but it will work for 2100 and above. I'm guessing pre-y2k would just be without the hundred thounsand, 105135 = 2005/135day and 5135 would be 1905/135day.

Thanks for all the help!

JDE stores dates in Julian format. If you don't want to have to do things manually, there is a JDE World Adapter that can automatically generate the synonyms for you. It would take care of julian to gregorian date conversion, decimal conversion, UDC lookups, and security integration for all your JDE World tables.

Regards,
Richard
