Maximum /Minumum functionality for 2 Date fields

Question

I have a requirement to calculate the Min /Max date function using Bex
Order No Start Date End Date         Price
124567890 10/11/2004 10/11/2004    100
                   10/12/2004 10/12/2004 4500
                   10/13/2004 10/13/2004 3450
                   10/14/2004 10/14/2004 1234.5
                  10/18/2004 10/18/2004 12121
                  10/19/2004 10/19/2004 12
I am expecting the report like
Order No Start Date End Date Min Start Date Max End date Price
124567890 10/11/2004 10/11/2004 10/11/2004 10/19/2004 100
               1 0/12/2004 10/12/2004                                       4500
               10/13/2004 10/13/2004                                      3450
               10/14/2004 10/14/2004                                     1234.5
                10/18/2004 10/18/2004                                     12121
                 10/19/2004 10/19/2004                                         12

Answer 1

Hey Swetha,
Try this code:
select case when 1=2 then "Time Dim - Headcount".Date else CAST(MONTH(CURRENT_DATE) AS CHAR(2)) ||'/'|| CAST(DAYOFMONTH(CURRENT_DATE) AS CHAR(2)) ||'/'|| CAST(YEAR(CURRENT_DATE) AS CHAR(4)) from cobalt
It's not the most elegant solution, but it'll get you there. Ideally there would be a way to use date masking syntax, but I've tried the syntax I'm familiar with [MM/DD/YYYY] but that didn't change anything.
Good luck!
