Kummy :
I apologize if I am missing something here, but I wonder how you can READ using the SAVE AS statement.

If you could, please post the integral pieces of your code that you need help with.
Assuming you are comparing YYMD format dates, here is a high level example -


-SET &TDY=EDIT(&YYMD,'99999999');
-READ HLDFL1 &DT1.A8YYMD
-IF &TDY EQ &DT1 THEN GOTO LBLXX;
-GOTO LBLYY;
-*

Exactly what are you trying to do with this code? See if any colums match the current date? It seems to me as if a simple table request with a comparison of the date to current date would work for you. Of course I'm sure you have other data in your file. If no records match you could then use dialog manager commands to check the number of lines generated. Or am I completely missing something here.

leah,

Thats a sample code.

any how thanks for the help. I used the following code to compare

-SET &BEG_DATE = EDIT(&BEG_DATE, '$$$$99$$') | '/' | EDIT(&BEG_DATE, '$$$$$$99') | '/' | EDIT(&BEG_DATE, '9999$$$$');
-IF &DATEMDYY EQ &BEG_DATE THEN GOTO DISP ELSE GOTO ENDIT;
