RE: [sqr-users] String to Date format

[Jim McKeever <JMcKeever@fastaff.com>]

Could the problem be that you have &lastdate in your first procedure, but
then you reference $lastdate when you print?

Hi Eric,

With strtodate you need to use a format mask which indicates the date format
you want the strtodate function to return, and the format masks vary
depending on what database you're using. What database are you using? Can
you include a code sample showing the syntax? 

Thanks,

Mike

Hey guys and gals,

I'm still having trouble trying to format a string ('06/05/2003 01:03:00)
into a date with the same format. Anyone have any ideas on how to do this?
I've tried using a to_date function and a strtodate function. Both failed.

Thanks,

Eric B. Ottaway
