There's no real types in ColdFusion. So, just treat the year as a string.
<cfset myyear=1990> <cfset yy=right(myyear,2)> <cfset century=left(myyear,2)> The variables yy and century will automagically typecast back to integers if you use them as integers. Not quite sure what you're trying to do, but if it's contructing a date, you could do it a lot easier with dateformat and createdate. > -----Original Message----- > From: Kris Pilles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, June 24, 2002 11:11 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Quick help > > > I have a control year > I need to trim the first 2 digits off of it inorder to use > the last 2 in > a date.... > > How can I do this? > ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
