Toshu,

Today we are 9 May, 2009:

Numbers only:
&DMYY=09052009
&YYMD=20090509
&MDY=050909
etc...

Formatted in the same way as Focus dates:
&DATEDMYY=09/05/2009
&DATEDMTYY=09 MAY 2009
etc...

Hi Danny
Thanks for the reply. But need further help.
I have to compare myyear with current year in table command.
TABLE FILE FILE9
PRINT *
WHERE (SITE EQ 'C' OR SITE EQ 'T')
AND LSPNAME NE ' '
AND (LSP NE ' 900' AND LSP NE ' 0')
AND (EDCD EQ ' ' OR EDCD EQ 'M' OR EDCD EQ 'N')
AND (SUBSTR(8,DT,1,4,4,'A4') EQ &Y)
END
-RUN
