ENGINE SQLORA SET DATETIME OFF or some derivative. You may also need to reformat the date.

The dateformat you have is something like

HYYMD I suppose

You can see that in the master file.

To change this can be done in several ways.

suppose you do this in the define

DEFINE FILE whatever
NEWDATE/YYMD=HDATE(ORIGDATE, 'YYMD');
END

Well you should read the manual.
You can do so many things with this software, but without the manual and maybe some training you won't get all the possibilities working for you.
It will take some time, we work with Focus for almost 20 year....

Hi

in the following example my field DATECREATED IS A DATETIME FIELD and I changed the display of it by creating the field test and I could see the date displayed as wanted it.

test/HDMY = INVENTORYANDPRODUCTVIEW.INVENTORYANDPRODUCTVIEW.DATECREATED;
