Re: Date problem

["Raul A. Jager W." <raul@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You need to move the numeric date to a "date" field.

Something like this:
D date_aux              s                        d
...
C     *ymd              move  numeric_date              date_aux

(replace *ymd if you are using a different format in the numeric date)
