GOAL:
Does the OpenEdge ABL/Progress 4GL have a function to convert an ISO date into a regular date value?
GOAL:
How to convert an ISO-formatted date string to a regular Progress date using the 4GL?
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
OpenEdge 10.x
CAUSE:
Enhancement Request# 0000003681
FIX:
At this time, the OpenEdge ABL/Progress 4GL has the ISO-DATE function, which returns a character representation of a DATE, DATETIME , or DATETIME-TZ that conforms to the ISO 8601 standard for date/time representations. However, the Progress programming language currently does not have a function that does the reverse.
An enhancement request is already in place so that the DATE, DATETIME and DATETIME-TZ functions can take an ISO-formatted date string as an input parameter and convert it into a regular Progress date value.
