Hi,
In DFSORT there are a number of possibilities to read a date with formats Y2x or Y4x, but i can't find a format to read a date as dd.mm.yyyy or ddmmyyyy.
Is that possible?
Kind Regards, Gerd.

Gerd Hofmans,

There is no direct format to read dd.mm.yyyy format , however there are ways to reformat and get the results. What exactly do you need to do on that date format?

The dates in the input file have the format dd.mm.yyyy, so i read them as :
Code:

#START-DATE-DD,00024,00002 
#START-DATE-MM,00027,00002 
#START-DATE-YYYY,00030,00004


and write them as :
Code:

@START-DATE:#START-DATE-YYYY,C'-',
            #START-DATE-MM,C'-',   
            #START-DATE-DD,       


Since there are a lot of dates and many files, it would have been easier if i could have just read the input as it occurs and then apply a format like dt=(4md-) to write them.
But if it's not possible, then i will do it the way i am doing it today. I was just looking to simplify my work.

Kind Regards, Gerd.
