OK, that didn’t work. The lines should be:

C *ISO MOVE DateIn DateOut
C *USA MOVE DateIn DateOut

Try this:

DateOut = char 10
and DateIn = type L

C *ISO MOVE DateIn w@Date
for 2008-05-21

or
C *USA MOVE DateIn w@Date
for 05-21-2008

Hope this helps.

Hi Mohan,

It has been a while since a do not use SDA, but I remember that it did not support date/time/timestamp fields. I do not know if importing PF fields into SDA solves the problem (I kind of remember it does not, it just changed the field type to a zoned equivalent) but if not, you can generate the DDS file anyway and then change the definition for those fields through SEU.

At the end, the line should be like this:

A PF_FIELD L 6 63DATFMT(date-format)

I hope this helps,

Gerardo.
