I would like to print a date that is in
YYMD format in its MFD.
When I use print *, I get a string of characters, not a vaild date.
Any help is appreciated.

KT,

Is the MFD describing relational data, or a FOCUS data source. Also, please include the full line from your MFD. I suspect it is an issue with ACTAUL vs USAGE and how the data was originally loaded into the datasource.

This was our solution:

In MFD
FIELD=RUN_DATE ,RUN_DATE ,MDYY ,A10 ,MISSING=OFF,
DEFINE RUN_DTYYMD/YYMD = DATECVT(RUN_DATE, 'MDYY', 'YYMD');

Results:

RUN_DATE RUN_DTYYMD
-------- ----------
07/26/2006 2006/07/26

Thanks!
