Why ?

? date()                                              ->     O.K.
? DATE()                                           ->     SYNTAX  ERROR
!!!!!!!!!!!!

IF  stod(  '20040101' ) =  date()         ->    o.k.

IF  stod(  '20040101' ) =  DATE()      ->    Reserved keyword   !!!!!!!!!!

Pawel,

 Because the Xbase++ language and therefore the Xbase++
 compiler are case insensitive I do not see why this code
 should produce an syntax error.

 I tried your code snipplet and must admit it compiles like
 a charm - so basically I have no idea why the compiler
 complains.

 Can you generate a PPO file using xpp <file.prg> /P
 and check how the sequence of code in question
 gets transformed. Maybe there are some magical
 #transforms active.

Hi Stefen
I solved my problem. It was problem with code page in my system XP.

Paul.
