Hello together!
I need a help to solve a problem with REXX.
I've a variable with this content:
D12300 where 12 are the two digits for the year
(2012 in this case) and 300 is the day of the year
(the 300th day from the first of Januar- it means today).
My problem is that I want to convert this values to
get the date in this format: 26/10/2012.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Regards
Rexx date

referring to 4.3.16 DATE
it looks like you could
x=date(,right(variable,5),'J')
which should give you 26 Nov 2012
then you could
y=date('U',x)
which would give you 10/26/12
so, putting it together this way
your_date=substr(y,4,3)||left(y,3)||right(x,4)
which should give you: 26/10/2012
you can do it anyway that you want
