Hi Razzak,

Interesting! Matching the date format settings suggested get the same
anomaly in select command for DESC order, only - ASC order returns all
values.

Vstartdate = 11/01/2004
Venddate = 11/30/2004
Most recent date for prod_date is 11/10/2004.

SELECT prod_date FROM produced WHERE +
prod_date BETWEEN .vstartdate AND .venddate ORDER BY prod_date DESC

Descending query returns values for prod_date beginning with 11/09/2004,
omitting the 11/10/2004 entry.

Ascending order correctly returns values 11/01/2004 through 11/10/2004.

Brad,

What happens when you SORT those dates using the simple
SELECT command at the R> prompt:

Example:

SELECT datecolumn FROM TableViewName WHERE ... +
ORDER BY datecolumn ASC

OR

SELECT datecolumn FROM TableViewName WHERE ... +
ORDER BY datecolumn DESC

Does that command display the dates accordingly?

On a side note, what are your database DATE FORMAT,
SEQUENCE, YEAR and CENTURY SETtings?

Try the following settings and see what you get.

DATE FORMAT:  MM/DD/YYYY
DATE SEQUENCE: MMDDYY
Century Threshold YEAR: 30
Default CENTURY: 19

Hope that helps!

Very Best R:egards,

Razzak.
