| Subj: |  | Re: Formatting string to DATE |  |  |  | From: |  | Geoffrey Rommel |  
 |  | But when i use same qry in MLOAD the session is coming out with error (2797).  [Mark Missing Update] |  | 
 
 
 |  | the qry that i use in MLOAD script is |  | 
 
 
 
     UPDATE G_STATUS SET END_DT = ? (DATE, FORMAT 'MM/DD/YYYY') (FORMAT
     'YYYY-MM-DD') WHERE C_CD = ? AND END_DT='2050-12-31'
 Instead of parameter markers, use colons followed by the names defined in your .field statements. For instance, if your input is defined
thus: 
     .field i_end_dt     1 char(10);
     .field i_c_cd       * char(1);
 your update should be: 
     UPDATE G_STATUS SET END_DT = :i_end_dt (DATE, FORMAT 'MM/DD/YYYY')
      WHERE C_CD = :i_c_cd AND END_DT='2050-12-31'
 The second FORMAT clause is not needed.
