K is for characters strings, for dates you most likely will need to use D.  

Data types

The data types available are the following:

• K defines a character string format.
• N defines a number format.
• D defines a date format.
• LAnnn, where nnn is a number, defines a local menu format (nnn being the local menu ID).

Hi

How exactly would you hide a date field?

I've tried Chgfmt FIELDNAME With "-D:"+GFMDAT but it doesn't work.

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards

Dates are kind of a tough one.  Try this.  

Chgfmt  [M:ZLD2]FIELD1 With "D:"+GFMDAT  #show field

Chgfmt  [M:ZLD2]FIELD1 With "-N:"+GFMDAT #hide field

Hi

Thank you very much for your reply.

I tried it this way.

Unfortunately the date field is still displayed.

Kind regards

You may need to refresh the screen or field with Affzo

Hi

Thank you very much for your help.

I had to use the affzo command first and afterwards the chgfmt command. Like this it works.

Kind regards
