Hi,

what should be the format of cobol variable. I tried using 9(10) which gives me error as target not in smallint format is there any way i can read the date from db2 into a cobol variable with 9(8) or x(8). |

only if it is a date datatype - which the TS has not bothered to clarify. |

Here is the SQL I use. REG_DT is CHAR(6) in table. I am trying to recieve the value WS-REG-DTE-COMP as x(8) or 9(8) in ccyymmdd format
| Code: |
SELECT REG_DT,
DATE
( CASE
WHEN REG_DT = '000000'
THEN '0000-00-00'
ELSE
CASE
WHEN SUBSTR(REG_DT, 1, 2) > '64'
THEN '19'
ELSE '20'
END
|| SUBSTR(REG_DT, 1,2)
|| '-'
|| SUBSTR(REG_DT, 3,2)
|| '-'
|| SUBSTR(REG_DT, 5,2)
END ) + 3 YEARS
INTO :REG-DT
:WS-REG-DTE-COMP
FROM KPH.DFG_ETC_KL_OPF
