I have file of records delimited by spaces. I need to import the date string and convert them into date datatypes.
'07/27/2011' 'Event 1 Description' '07/28/2011' 'Event 2 Description' '07/29/2011' 'Event 3 Description' I just discovered that my oDate is not an object, but a structure and not a date datatype. I'm stumped. Is there a way to convert a string into a date datatype for comparisons, equality, etc?
