Ali,
Thanks for your help. However, when I call the template like this
<xsl:call-template name="ConvertRtDate">
<xsl:with-param name="ADate" select ="@trndte"/>
</xsl:call-template>
The date of 17-MAY-02 gets converted to 020517. How do I make it 20020517?
Thanks,
Akila

Akila,
The following template translates anything like dd-mmm-yyyy to yyyymmdd, I
beleive a shorter way may exists, but it works
