That makes a lot of sense to me. "Avoid needless coding." At least as something to think about, could you turn these date conversion functions into "enterprise services," so that they're available universally to anyone in your organization in their applications, regardless of language or environment? If you do not want to reinvent a common function, chances are excellent others have the same issue. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan / Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
