Hi,
I would like to display the last two digits of the year from the code below, please amend, thx

Code:
ystrday = date('s',(date('b')-1,'b')
CALL ZocSend "RE"||ystrday"||" ^M"

RE20240208
Am expecting a result of RE240208
 
mikrom (Programmer)
use
Code:
substr(ystrday,3)

hi mikrom, how about this format 08022024 <--DDMMYYYY
 
you can use the substr() function
Code:
yyyymmdd = date('s')
say(yyyymmdd)

ddmmyyyy = substr(yyyymmdd,7,2)||substr(yyyymmdd,5,2)||substr(yyyymmdd,1,4)
say(ddmmyyyy)

Output
Code:
20240209
09022024

Here is a good tutorial for learning basics of REXX. There have online interpreter, where you can try out your code snippets
