Tony

The numeric value of the date field is equal to the number of days from the 
earliest admissible date, March 2, 1900 - where the G value of the date = 1. 

The highest acceptable date in DP is Dec 31, 2078 - with the value of 65,319, 
somewhat less than 2**16  (65,536) - so in theory. the highest date could have 
been August 7, 2079. I suppose there is a good reason for that, Lew.

Happy holidays

Robert
