How do I convert java.lang.string Date to java.util.Date using the format YYMMDD?

Use SimpleDateFormat

DateFormat f = new SimpleDateFormat("yymmdd");
Date d = f.parse("040227");

I tried the above code yesterday and got java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "20040218

Did you set the date format to yyyymmdd? You said your date was in the format yymmdd

Greg.

I set the format to yyMMdd

 

[grega]

If you create a SimpleDateFormat of the form yymmdd, you can use it to parse a string with the format yyyymmdd

Sorry, I mean you can't use it to parse a yyyymmdd date.

I ended up doing the following and it works:

java.text.SimpleDateFormat sdf = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd" );
String sPaymentDueDate = INBOUND;
java.util.Date CovertDate = sdf.parse(sPaymentDueDate);
outboundsets(CovertDate);

Thanks for all your help!
