Here is an example...
HIRE_DATE DATE6 DATE5
1966/09/12 SEP 12-09-1966

Logic:
DATE5/D-M-YY = HIRE_DATE ;
DATE6/MT = HIRE_DATE ;

Tried DATE5/D-Mtr-YY = HIRE_DATE ; fails
Want
12-SEP-1966

Thanks

Try using DATETRAN with the -T output option.

You should buy the book "almost 1001 Ways to Work with Dates in WebFOCUS"
It will help you in many date format and calculation questions.

Tom,

Alan has good advice. Here is the code:
  
DATE5/DMYY=HIRE_DATE;
DATE6/A11 = DATETRAN (DATE5, '(DMYY)', '(-T)', 'EN', 11, 'A11')

Just notice that the date DATE6 is an ALPHA field, so you will not be able to sort on it nor test except for equality.

Danny is right, but you still have your HIRE_DATE if you want the correct sorting.

Thanks for your help. That worked fine. I have the 1001 date book but couldn't find this solution.
