I found a bug in latest Xbase++ version.

now:

? dtoc(ctod('01/01/9999'))   19990101

previous versions:

? dtoc(ctod('01/01/9999'))   99990101

my workaronud is:

? dtoc(stod('99990101'))   19990101

Regards

Claudio

not only ctod('01/01/9999')

but all dates give wrong result.

I use

SET DATE TO BRITISH

Must reinstall previous version

Hi Claudio,

I tested the following with 1461...

MsgBox(dtoc(ctod('01/01/9999')))

SET DATE TO BRITISH	 My app had already SET DATE TO AMERICAN

MsgBox(dtoc(ctod('01/01/9999')))

Both instances displayed 01/01/9999.  Since you were noting original 
return values of 99990101 I modified the dtoc() to dtos() and found the 
return values were 99990101 in both cases.

I then upgraded to 1487 with identical return values that I was getting 
with 1461 so I have no idea why you are experiencing different return 
values.

Regards... Jonathan

Back in 1461 all is ok.

I will try again.

Thanks for your feedback.

Hi,
Yes, there is CTOD() a problem at line 22.
I already changed my code to use STOD().

Explains a problem I saw with 1461. I had to drop back to previous version.

Thanks Andreas,

They know it, so I think it will be solved soon.

Waiting for next release.
