RE: TEST Date in free form

Actually,
I had thought for sure that the test (de) put messages in the joblog for 
invalid date.  Not the other way around.  Perhaps I was mistaken, but I 
seem to recall an issue at HTE where that caused a huge joblog.

Rob,

test (de) doesn't put any messages in the job log.

Ron was talking about the messages %date() would put into the job log.
