Another way would be to use this formula field:<br />
<br />
to TEST display of the date field using a hard-coded variable:<br />
<br />
Local StringVar myDate := &quot;20060403&quot;;<br />
totext(cdate(picture(myDat<wbr />e,&quot;xxxx/xx<wbr />/xx&quot;)),&quot;MM<wbr />/dd/yyyy&quot;)<wbr /><br />
<br />
to use your date field the syntax would be:<br />
<br />
totext(cdate(picture({your<wbr />DateFieldN<wbr />ame},&quot;xxxx<wbr />/xx/xx&quot;)),<wbr />&quot;MM/dd/yyy<wbr />y&quot;)<br />
<br />

 We have just started using Crystal Report 9.0 interfacing data using IBM Client Access ODBC for AS400 DB2. We have defined date and time field in simple numeric field such as 20060403 and 1200 for 04/03/06 and 12:00AM respectively. &nbsp;We would like to show the date and time in converted manner at Crystal Report. &nbsp;Is there any simple conversion technique to print them without changing AS400 database format?<br />
Please advise me.

Date and Time Conversion from Simple Numeric Fields

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
