412.0. "IBI FOCUS output INTO TEAMDATA" by ISLNDS::MACDONALD_H () Fri Apr 26 1991 09:04

    


    My question is related to output created in IBI FOCUS in DIF format
    and importing this file into TEAMDATA for further analysis. The
    problem that I'm having is one of the fields is a DATE which is
    defined as I6YMD within the FOCUS MASTER and when I import it to
    teamdata The results is a interger.  example=
    						910417  = 910,417
    
    I've tried changing the format within TEAMDATA but I receive an
    error message stating it can't be done. Any help would be appriciated.
    
    thanks,
    	Hugh

    	There's a new user subroutine in 6.1, I think its WRITSTIME,
    	it outputs an 8-byte Digital Standard DATE format.  You
    	should be able to import that into Teamdata.  Good luck.
