You don't even need DATECVT - but this is a VERY basic question that has many easy to find examples.
DATE1/A8YYMD=DATE;

Then if you need straight smart date (for further calculation as opposed to a display only)

DATE2/YYMD=DATE1;


Regards,

Darin

If this date is being read from a file with TABLE, then change the USAGE to YYMD, and leave the ACTUAL as A8.

And then there's also the (remote) possibility that it concerns Dialog Manager.
Anyway, I think it has been said already many times before, there is this wondeful little booklet that deals with any and all thing that have to do with date issues. It's only 25$ and it is worth every penny of it. You can order it from ibi's documentation website.

Thank you, All
I used this function:
COMP_DT1/YYMD = DATECVT(COMP_DT, 'A8YYMD', 'YYMD');
