Ben,
tahnks again - works,
but I still wonder why there is no Method from the Type Class offering this
converions
(internal format -> string format -> other string format -> other internal
format ?,
just wanted to convert a DateTime into a Date) ...
but as you showed me it is possible in SQL:
*,{fn CONVERT(prop,SQL_DATE)}
and this time I really needed this one ;-)
