I think you're asking about Dayton, Ohio. The code is DAY. Here is its website: http://www.daytonairport.com/
BTW, IATA's website is www.iata.org

We do not use a code because in general people do not refer to airports by their code except for a few famous ones such as LAX (Los Angeles International). People generally don't say I'm going to fly to CVG they say I'm going to fly into Cincinnati. So for Dayton it is very simple to say I'm flying out of Dayton, not DAY.
The Dayton International Airport's IATA (3 letter code) is DAY and it's ICAO (4 letter code) is KDAY.

Well this is due to the necessity in modern times to simplify and shorten everything to the least amount of space and time to communicate it. Common words like Raleigh-Durham Airport are reduced to a three letter code like RDU for use on tickets, baggage claim and marking lables, computer spread sheets for schedules and times, etc. Folks get tired of typing Raleigh-Durham... Raleigh-Durham... Raleigh-Durham.... Raleigh-Durham. It is much easier to type or scan quickly the tag "RDU."
