Trying to convert a CYMD date for the first time from a DB2 table. The date looks like this 1081226.

Tried the following with a blank result and can't seem to stumble onto the Focus equivalent of CYMD.

DATECVT(ACAIDT, 'CYMD', 'YYMD')

Thanks,
Wayne

If the CYMD field has an integer (I..) usage in the Synonym file, adding 1900 00 00 will give the yyyymmdd value, and then it's simple to convert to a date field:

-* hold sample data
DEFINE FILE CAR
LIST/I1 WITH COUNTRY = LIST + 1;
CYMD_INT/I8=DECODE LIST(
1 1081226
2 0991231
3 1991231
ELSE 0);
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CYMD_INT
IF CYMD_INT NE 0
ON TABLE HOLD AS SAMPLE
END

-* transform cymd to yymd:
DEFINE FILE SAMPLE
  
  YYMD_INT/I8YYMD = CYMD_INT + 19000000;
  DATE/YY-M-D = YYMD_INT;

END
TABLE FILE SAMPLE
PRINT CYMD_INT YYMD_INT DATE
END
