[RBASE-L] - Converting a mm-ddd-yy date

[Karen Tellef]

I'm trying to convert a TEXT column into something recognizable as a date.  The 
text column has words such as:
     08-Feb-10

I tried doing
     SET DATE DD-MMM-YY

My #Date displays properly.  But this results in "your value does not have the 
same type..." error:
     SET DATE DD-MMM-YY
     SET VAR vDate DATE = NULL
     SET VAR vDate = .vText
        
I suppose I can monkey around with pulling the individual pieces and doing an 
RDate but I was hoping for something easier....
