converting a number to a date??
- Thread starter Techone1
- Start date
You really shouldn't have to do anything. Informix 4GL is very good at performing conversions if it can. This example sets a date equal to a character string. If it's a correct date it'll display. If not, variable dd is set to null
Code:
main
define dd date,
str char(10)
let str = "12012008"
let dd = str
display dd # should display 12/01/2008
end main- Status
