Hi,

I need to change the format of the date-time date field.
e.g.2008/05/27 4:07:11 to 05/27/2008 4:07:11PM
The orginal field format is (HYYMDS) and I need to change it to MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS(AM/PM).

Could anyone please help me on this!

Regards!
Thanks.

Shakila code must be changed a little bit to have MMDDYY instead :
DEFINE FILE CAR
  MYDATE/HYYMDS  WITH COUNTRY = HINPUT(20,'2014/12/22 13:35:01',10,'HYYMDS');
 MYDATE1/HMDYYSA  WITH COUNTRY = MYDATE;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
  PRINT COUNTRY MYDATE MYDATE1
 END

Hi,

Thanks Shakila and Martin for the quick response and solution.
But Iam actually trying to pass my date as an amper variable inside my TABLE FILE SQLOUT and I tried passing it in this way :

TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT *
COMPUTE MYDATE/HYYMDS = HINPUT(20,'&DATEPARAM',10,'HYYMDS');
END
-RUN

But for that column,Iam getting as blank output without any data.
Is there any other work around for this.Please let me know.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Regards!

Hi,

I got the solution.
I used this format first:
COMPUTE ALPHA_DATE/A20 = HCNVRT(DATEPARAM, '(H17)', 17, 'A20');
COMPUTE MYDATE/HYYMDS = HINPUT(20, ALPHA_DATE, 10,'HYYMDS');

Thanks a ton both of you!

Regards!
