Re: [amibroker] Date Display in Title - Really Puzzling

[wavemechanic]

If 01/01/2006 is the format used by Windows then change the format value to 1 per Help for ParamData.   Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken Close To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, October 06, 2006 12:41 PM Subject: [amibroker] Date Display in Title - Really Puzzling 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 No virus found in this incoming message.
