Re: Date performance

["Brigitte Caura" <Caura@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks a lot , Simon

A nice clear explanation.

2 small remarks:
. V3R7 manual does mention storage of 10 chars, just as V4R2.
. It would have been nice if this difference of 'program storage (what s in
a name)' and 'storage storage' was explained explicitly.

 Regards
Luc
