Hi,
i want to convert 'aug-2009' to '200908'.is there any direct date format for this?

i tried ,like
&todate = 'aug-2009';
-SET &todateYEAR = EDIT(&todate,'$$$$9999');
-SET &todateMONTH = EDIT(&todate,'999$$$$$');
--need a conversion function to convert &todateMONTH( OTHER THAN DECODE)

-SET &total =&todateYEAR || &todateMONTH


Thanks
rp

I'm guessing that the incoming date is from a prompt (manual input, via a GUI) or something, not from a DB, right?

Why would you want to go through all the DM -SET and not use a DECODE at the end? DECODEs are nice... easy to use... and efficient...
