Re: Date format when retrieving from the database is wrong

If you are getting 2077 here it is because your $date variable says 2077.  
Check to see where $date is set.

Subject: Date format when retrieving from the database is wrong


The date format which is kept in the database is YYYY i.e. 1977.

But when I code SQR to retrieve the date field, and print out on the
report, using

print $date () Edit 'DD/MM/YYYY'

The result come out on the report is 2077, not 1977. How can I set SQR to
know that the date is in year 19xx not 20xx?

SQR 6.0
ORACLE 8i
Windows NT 4.0

Best regards,
