Re: dates in /free

That's right Jon, because we all know the "best" way to convert numeric
fields that contain dates is by multiplying them by 10000.01 or 100.0001

BTW, here's how to implement that old MDY to YMD method in free-form calcs. (Not that you'd ever want to do it this way!)

==================================================
D numdate         s              6p 0 inz(092962)
 /free
    dsply (%rem(%int(numdate*10000.01):1000000));
    *inlr = *on;
 /end-free
==================================================

;-)

Cheers! Hans
