It's the 'usually' part that caught me. This is the first time I've run into it.
*C_LONGINT*($long;$newlong) $long:=1 *OB SET*($object;"long";$Long) $newlong:=*OB Get*($object;"long") Works fine. Also note (this may be documented, but I didn't notice), the date field in the original example is stored in the $object as a datetime.
