Beware, in other countries the date you specify as being "normally"
would be one month earlier. Beware that when you look at a date that the
dateformat becomes very significant. As long as you stay within the same
date-formatting-area (locale in Java-speak) you're ok. If you have
international aspirations with the application try to move all your
communication partners to move to a shared format, preferably an
ISO-standard so there are no interpretation errors because of the
difference in locales.
Just my i18n cents,
Cor
I won't climb my soapbox declaring that the information you received is
no date today ;)

Subject: Dates
I have a vendor that wants to send me a file to be uploaded to our
iSeries.
The problem is with the dates that get sent. Normally, today's date
would be
08/07/2007 which the %date biff would handle just fine. Unfortunately,
the dates I'm receiving drop the leading 0 in both the month and day,
resulting in 8/7/2007 which the %date doesn't like. Any ideas how to
handle this other then parsing it out?
Kelley
