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.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
I like the API docs that James have on his export procedure. I wonder
if James and other can share how their shops create and keep up with
this type of doc?
thanks

I need to allow the users to enter any of the following values as a
valid date type on a display file:
010108 // Six digit date
20080101 // eight digit ISO date type
01012008 // eight digit USA date type
01/01/2008 // ten digit USA date type
We need to do this all the time, so we wrote a handy little service
program to handle it:
Procedure definitions:

Service program source:

API docs:
http://www.eaerich.com/docs/era-api.html
The procedure that does what you want is called char2date(). It accepts
a 10 character alpha field that can contain a date in any of the formats
you described above and returns a DATE field equivalent.
