I've been wondering if he could just leave the *iso parm off the %date(bif) (unless he has set a DATFMT keyword) and see if that works as he expects?

Okay. I changed mine from packed to zoned and ran it again, it still didn't enter the loop.

There's more to this problem than meets the eye.

Make sure you check that your source matches your object. I've frequently had problems like this because someone changed the source code (and it's not always obvious) so that the source code no longer matched the object. When debugging, it showed strange things happening because it showed the new source with the actual execution happening in the old object.

I am using WDSC 7 with SEP to debug. I have a breakpoint on the statement and follow it down to the bottome where I increase Running_Date. My monitor show Running_Date being incremented and To_Date is just as it always is... its a constant parameter that is passed into this procedure. My field is 8,0 zoned, not packed. I did see that discrepency in your code Scott. Not that it should matter I suspect.
