Converting date formats in set fields action

I don't know if the long week has caught up with me and this is a heavy question for a Friday. I am just not able to figure out how to convert a date that I am getting from another system in -MM-DD format to the MM-DD- format that my server uses. For testing purposes I'm just pasting the

Hi Rick, For a Friday this might work. Since the format is always the same maybe you can probably do a series of substring set fields in a filter to put in a temp date (character) field and then move to your final date field. incomingdate is also a character field. Set field tempdate

Why would you need to parse or munge the data? The date/time data is stored as a string, and the client settings determine how it is displayed. So why would you need to do anything more than copy the field to a temp date/time field on the destination system, which would display it in the new

That's a good idea Paul. Currently we are doing some manipulation outside of Remedy before importing the files with the Data Import tool. We don't have Perl available however, I'm not sure what other scripting tools I might be able to leverage but I'll look into it. The toughest part of this is
