Re: This compiler error doesn't make sense to me

Would this work better if the two screen fields were defined as date 
fields?

Type L, not zoned decimal.

Do I need to know what is in ISVALIDDATA to answer this issue definitively?

(Just as an aside, a benefit of using date fields is that date 
validation is done for you.

See DFROMDATE and DTODATE and the two parameters in the screenshot here (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2732434/2011-12-14-2126_screenshot.png). However, when I compile it, I get the error "RNF7535 The type and attributes of parameter 1 do not match those of the prototype." for both fields.
