sorry that second assignment statement should have been :

Year = Input( Substr( Put( Date , 8. -L )  , 1 , 4 ) , 8. ) ;

Hi guys:

I have a variable yyyymm - year and month, which is a numeric
variable, like:
199101
199102

I just want year now...I have tried to used "substr", but it returns a
character. I want a numbric value...is there any way?

Thanks

Fei
