Most efficient method to display 02/12/2012

[dcutaia]

Hi, I have a subfile maintenance program and trying to come up with the most efficient way of displaying my date as DD/MM/YYY. My date in the file is 20120212. I want to display it as 02/12/2012.
Thanks,

DAC

Define your subfile field as Date with format USA.

In your RPG-Program simply convert the numeric or character date 20120212 into your real date subfile field:
1. Assumed 20120212 is a numeric date:

 /Free
   MySflDate = %Date(MyNumDate: *ISO);

2. Assumed 20120212 is a character date:

 /Free
   MySflDate = %Date(MyCharDate: *ISO0);
