Gobinath,

Have you tried anything at all yet to obtain this?

What manuals have you checked? What searches in documentation (top right) have you performed?

If you let us know what you have already tried then we might help you some more, but if you haven't yet tried to solve this on your own (as it would appear) then at least first try something.

So your sysdate is a string that only holds the date.
Do you also have a filed like systime?

If you have you need to concatenate these fields to one field (DATETIME) and then you can start changing the format on that field. or you can decide first the manipulation on the date field and then on the time field and in the last step combine these two to one string.

Gobinath,

At least you have tried something, I (we?) get disenchanted with folks who are not prepared to at least try and find out what they need.

Try this -
-SET &DOWK = DOWKL(&YYMD, 'A12');
-TYPE &DOWK &DATEDMtrYY &TOD

Here's what I believe is an undocumented System Date variable (I've never used it before):

&DATEwrMtrDYY

It works in v5.3.2. I wonder if it's mentioned in that famous book, '10001 things to do with dates'?

Francis,

The book does not mention that combination. But it does give the following:

"For the record, there are eight possible date forms, four possible month transformation options and eight day transformation options (but only two results); thus the possible combinations are (8x4x8) or 256."

Anyone who doesn't have the book needs to order one.

Refer to "Printing Options" page 26-27 of 2nd Edition

It doesn't specifically give Francis's example, but the table in Example 1.6 gives all the elements, and it states

"The print options combined with the basic SmartDate or DateTime formats produce a wide range of date field formats."

I strongly agree with Glenda that this is a must have book for anyone writing webfocus code that does anything with dates.
