Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to display my data by months. The date I am using is a smart date. I'm using the mainframe version of FOCUS v7.03. If I understand correctly this is before HPART was available.
So is there someway I can label and separate by data by month?
Thanks
Mike

If you have a data field which is a smart date (FIELD=MDATE), ie has a format like YYMD then you can pull the month out with a Define as.
DEFINE FILE ...
MONTH/M = MDATE ;
END

But you should have a test on YEAR else you will get the month data for all years.

Thank you. It works great.

The year isn't an issue as the data is only the current quarter. However, I will keep that in mind.

Thanks
Mike
