Bill,
This is only returning those records that do not have a value in
MPAR.STATUS.DATE. Unfortunately I looking for records where an external
date has been written instead of the internal date.

Greg:
Can you do something like:
:select {FileName} WITH EVAL "OCONV(MPAR.STATUS.DATE, 'D')" = ""
This works fine on UniData in PICK mode, where an invalid conversion
returns a null (an empty string).
HTH,
Bill

All,
Can anyone help me with a query to find instances where an external date
has been written to a date field? I would like to use ...WITH
MPAR.STATUS.DATE LIKE "..
./..." (the dates would be in the fomat: '12/16/12', but this field is set
with external formatting so I end up bringing back everything. Is there a
way I can 'turn off' formatting for this field within the query?
Thanks,
Greg
