I have this line of code:

TDY_DATE/HMDYYs = HGETC(8,'HMDYYs');

Its used to generate a report based on today's date.

How can I revise this line so I can hard-code a date other than today?

Thanks.

Is this what you want ?

DEFINE FILE CAR
TDY_DATE /HMDYYs = HGETC(8,'HMDYYs');
TDY_DATE2/HMDYYs = '07/20/2016 10:11:22.333';
END
TABLE FILE CAR
