The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

The ccyymmdd function is pretty sweet. Thanks Chuck.

any suggestions.
I just added another reply to a separate discussion. In that reply is
described a means to handle the above scenario whereby both an existing

not properly form a valid YYYYMMDD date value is no more relevant than when
constructing the value of "yesterday" as a literal.
