[amibroker] Date Display in Title - Really Puzzling

Ken Close Fri, 06 Oct 2006 09:46:39 -0700

I set a variable with ParamDate, then later want to display that date in the Title statement. I get an incorrect date displayed even though the variable operates correctly and displays correctly as a number.

So, the code has

BuyDate = ParamDate("BuyDate","01/03/2006",0);

Say I set 8/18/2006 in the Parameter box, then later in the code this partial segment in a Title statement

.....+ " BuyDate = " + WriteVal(BuyDate,1.0)

produces this when applied: BuyDate = 1060818 ............. which is the correct number but not formatted how I would like it.

Change the code to

BuyDateDisp = DateTimeToStr(BuyDate);

and then

..... + " BuyDate = " + BuyDateDisp

produces this when applied: BuyDate = 8/2/1073 12:41:00 AM

What is going on and how can I get the formatted date display I want in the Title???

Thanks for any insights.

Ken
