4160.0. "cal$set_date " by TROOA::DROSE () Thu May 12 1994 14:09

    
    Hi,
    
    A quick question regarding CAL$SET_DATE
    
    ;;DATE1;;
    /VALID=CAL$SET_DATE:"DATE1"
    
    Is the "DATE1" required?  I've noticed that a date entered in MM/DD/YY
    is converted to DD-MMM-YYYY and put back into the DATE1 field.
    
    If I dont specify "DATE1" then DATE1 is remains in the MM/DD/YY format.
    
    ;;DATE1;;    
    /VALID=CAL$SET_DATE
    
    So is the field name name required for CAL$SET_DATE?
    
    Thanks,
    Dan

	/VALID=CAL$SET_DATE will validate the date in the current field. /VALID=CAL$SET_DATE:symbol will validate the date in the current field, and put the validated date into the specified symbol, which can be any symbol you like, not necessarily the current field name. As you have observed, CAL$SET_DATE may change the date format when doing this. You can also do something like: GET CAL$SET_DATE:#symbol.%whole["TODAY +1W"] to get the date a week from today, etc...
