Hi,
Thanks for your reply. This is the code which I am
using. Still I am getting wrong dates after sync on
palm. I am able to sync data from palm to pc. For pc
to palm sync I am reading data from text file, and for
every record the date is diff.. I am reading date from
the text file and storing into array say.
char PcDate[] = "10/12/2001"; ( dd/mm/yyyy format)
then I am taking out day,month and year .
unsigned char
dateDay[4],dateMonth[4],dateYear[5],dateItem[5];
int slashCount;
for ( i = 0 ,slashCount = 0 , j = 0 ; PcDate[i] !=
'\0' ; i++)
{
if (PcDate[i] != '/' )
dateItem[j++] = field[i];
else
{
slashCount++;
dateItem[j++] = '\0';
if ( slashCount == 1 )
{
strcpy((char *)dateDay ,(char *) dateItem);
j = 0;
month = atoi((char *)dateDay);
}
else
{
if ( slashCount == 2 )
{
strcpy((char *)dateMonth ,(char *) dateItem );
j = 0;
day = atoi((char *)dateMonth);
}
}
}
}
dateItem[j++] = '\0';
strcpy((char *)dateYear ,(char *) dateItem) ;
year = atoi((char *)dateYear);
then I have stucture which I am passing to palm
thorugh sync.
stuct XDB
{
DateType date; // DateTYpe
char *amt;
etc....
};
XDB XData;
XData.date.year = year - 1904;
XData.date.month = month;
XData.date.year = day;
In debug if I chck the value of date of XDB then I am
getting corect values. Say if date is "12/10/2001".
then I get XData.date.year = 97 ( 2001-1904 = 97)
XData.date.month = 12 and XData.date.day = 10.
IF I use the SyncHHToHostWord then I get 0 values of
day,month. It is possible that instead of takeing
DateType member in XDB , take WORD date and using
simple variable of DateType assigin whole datetype to
WORD date member of XDB by SyncHHHostWord.
But that also doesnt work. So tell me where I am
worng. I dont know what goes wrong after sync. It is
possible that problem is with palm application, but I
am able to read the date from palm to pc. And Palm
application is working nicely. So if u have any idea
then pls tell me.

Vini
