I have a transaction file where the date is stored as YYMD, but the format is P9.

I need to select records with the WHERE statement and comparing it the the system variable that is the current date.

What kind of file is it?

If the ACTUAL is P9, can you make the FORMAT YYMD? If yes, that would solve your problem.

Also, system variable &YYMD is a numeric value that you can use in compares. Try it and see if it works.

The&YYMD worked perfectly with my P9 format date.

Thanks Ginny!
