Hi,
Is there any function or command in Eazytrieve to get the current date.
Thank you,
Ravi. |

SYSDATE function will give you current date.
| Code: |
WS-DATE1 = SYSDATE.
|
Find below explanation.
| Quote: |
SYSDATE is a read only eight-byte alphanumeric field which contains the system date at the start of EASYTRIEVE PLUS execution.

| Forgot to mention, SYSDATE function will have MM/DD/YY format. |

I don't know if it still does, but Easytrieve Plus used to zero suppress the MM for Jan through Sep. That bit me one time when I used the MM portion of SYSDATE in a calculation (S0C7).  |

Hi Terry,
I am facing the problem you mentioned. my date field has value '04/08/09' but the value sysdate returns is ' 4/08/09'. Note that there is a null before 4.
So when i compare these two fields its always giving false.
Any way to overcome this problem??
Thank you,
Ravi |

Hi anand,

Thank you ,

Terry,
Yes, you are correct. I have forgot to mention this zero suppression. We have handled manually in the EZT program itself.
E.g., if that position contains space, move zero. |

| My solution was the same as ksk -- I moved SYSDATE to a working storage field, replaced any leading space with a zero, and used that for any calculations from then on. My program also didn't involve DB2. |
