I think J's date routines is OK. A very minor issue is that verb "todate" does not <. its argument. eg, todayno 2006 12 31 75604 todate 75604.1 2006 12 31 todate 75604.5 2007 1 1 Day should be floored rather than rounded because the day 2006 12 31 should include midnight 00:00:00 upto 23:59:59 before next midnight. Not a bug but only that users should remember to apply <. before passing argument to "todate" -- regards, bill ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
