Usually you can use abbreviations like ISO USA EAU etc to reformat the dates.
IBM European standard EUR dd.mm.yyyy 12.10.1987..
CHAR(YOUR_DATE,EUR)
If the dot is not a problem, u can use this formating
To make it exactly as what you said..you can use the below code
SELECT SUBSTR(CHAR(YOUR_DATE),6,2)||SUBSTR(CHAR(YOUR_DATE),3,2)||SUBSTR(CHAR(YOUR_DATE),9,2) FROM ....
Thanks,
Prajesh |

Do you want to do with SQL query or COBOL program?
With COBOL program, it is simple.
Just do reference modification to change 'yyyy-mm-dd' to either 'mmyydd' or 'ddmmyy'. during this ignore the positions of hyphens.
E.g., 07-08-2007 to 07082007
MOVE first-date(1:2) to second-date(1:2)
MOVE first-date(4:2) to second-date(3:2)
MOVE first-date(7:4) to second-date(5:4)
In the same way you can do for other format.

You need to use the CHAR and SUBSTR functions and concatenate to get what you want. For the Julian date you will need the DAYOFYEAR function. |
