I have a field that is specified in the db as HYYMDs. I want to convert this to an I8 field and do not need the time. Then I have another field that is A25 which I will convert to an I8 format. Then I will uses both field to calculate number of dates between them.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Kerry,
You would be better off converting the A25 using HINPUT to a date-time stamp then using HDIFF to get the number of days between them.
If you insist on only using the date portions, then I highly recommend that you convert them to smartdates, i.e. YYMD, then do a simple subtraction which will give you the number of days.
At any rate, browsing through the date chapter in the "Using Functions" manual might be a good thing for you to do.
