Oh. Yep, removing the millennium would work and I'll just add it later. :)

The number you used was 20080516.00000057 . Where does the 57 come from? Even if you cannot control the inputs, you should be able to fix up what you are given so that things work properly in J. For example: ff=: ":!.15 NB. this is your problem: ff ~. 20080516 20080516.00000057 20080516 NB. this is a simple fix that removes the millenium - NB. you can always add it back later: ff ~. 20080516 20080516.00000057 - 20000000 80516 80516.00000057 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
