Hi,

I have a field in yyyy-mm-dd HH.MM.SS.MSS in the HYYMDs format. I would like to just strip it to just show yyyy-mm-dd in a YYMD format. I tried to make a define using the DATECVT function but it is not working for me. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Use the HDATE function. From the docs:
quote:

The HDATE function converts the date portion of a date-time value to the date format YYMD. You can then convert the result to other date formats".

Syntax: How to Convert the Date Portion of a Date-Time Value to a Date Format

HDATE(datetime, output)

where:

datetime - Date-time - Is the date-time value to be converted, the name of a date-time field that contains the value, or an expression that returns the value.

output - Date - Is the format in single quotation marks or the field that contains the result.

TABLE FILE VIDEOTR2
PRINT CUSTID TRANSDATE AS 'DATE-TIME' AND COMPUTE
TRANSDATE_DATE/YYMD = HDATE(TRANSDATE, 'YYMD');
WHERE DATE EQ 2000;
END
