Yes. Many people don't know you can stack conversion codes, separated by value marks (like in Pick dict 8 correlatives).

Hi Chuck, I've never seen this to fail on any implementation or flavor: OCONV(TODAY,'DY2')'R%2': OCONV(TODAY,'DM')'R%2': OCONV(TODAY,'DD')'R%2' If anyone has, please let me know and I'll rethink. The code assumes (yeah, I know) that TODAY is in ICONV form. I've always used D2Y (I don't remember why) but it's interesting to note that DY2 works as well.

Even the best code for converting an internal date to an external one is a tad complicated.

Re: [U2] YYMMDD easy way?
Actually the below is a trifle odd What this seems to be saying is, the M returns 4 or perhaps 4 (space 4) by itself, since the '' evidently removes spaces or something But the M with a 2'' returns a ZERO 4 (04) From where the heck does the zero come? I could see it as logical is the M returned a 04 normally but it seems to not. Unless of course the '' means also supress leading zeroes On Apr 25, 2012, at 5:26 AM, Charles Stevenson wrote: On my UV10.2.10 it behaves properly only with [2'',2''], as Richard Perry describe.
