Thank you Nelson for your response. Please cut and paste your codes and so I
can try them, or how can I get YYYY
MM and DD? What is the function to convert a string to a numeric? Do I need
this function? Thank you for the help!

I've created dbf files using DBD::XBase a few times.
To get dates to insert correctly I had to have the date in YYYYMMDD
format.
DBD::Xbase writes dbase 4 files.
If Clipper is old enough that it is using dbase 3 files the answer might
be different.

Hi,

application and I came across something seems simple but it's not.

expert helps out someone who is novice in perl like me? your help would
be very much appreciated! Thanks.
