Jim,
To use the new GETDATE command:
First, make sure that you are using The Glorious
R:BASE
2000 (version 6.5++), Build: 1.842xRT03, released on
June 15, 2001.
SHOW VERSION at the mighty R> Prompt or About R:BASE
6.5++
should reveal the version and build information.
If, you are using the CURRENT version, then, try:
SET VAR vDate = (GETDATE('Pick Date'))
vDate SHOULD return the date you picked from Calendar!
For more details and examples, check NewStuff Demo or
http://www.rbase.com/rbw65pp
Have Fun!
Very Best Regards,
Razzak.
