Character-Like Access to Date Fields and Time Fields
Character-like access to character-like content of date fields and time fields is evaluated in a character-like way. The character-like nature of date fields and time fields can be exploited, for example, to access detailed information. To avoid unexpected results from this type of access, the validity of the content of the date or time fields must be ensured. Most statements and functions used in character string processing are not suitable for processing date fields and time fields because they generally produce invalid content.
