Troy,
IF you want more rigour in the selection, you can switch to an SQL
selection, e.g.
SELECT @ID TO SLIST 0 FROM MYFILE WHERE MYDATE = '31 FEB 04';
This will fail date recognition, swap to string recognition and then throw
out the statement because of the data type mismatch.
Brian.

Subject: [U2] [UV] controlling selects with unconverted data used for
selection errors
Using universe 10.0.19...
When a user provides an invalid date value for a select, universe prints out
the error message bad data unconverted data used for selection
but goes on and does the select.
Is there a way to:
1. require that the retrieve command fail when this occurs by using a
keyword similiar to REQUIRE.INDEX as in REQUIRE.NO.ERRORS ?
or
2. be able to get a result code from the command via the 'RETURNING ERRORS'
clause of an execute statement?
Personally, I think the command should outright fail when this occurs rather
than wasting the user's time and/or provding results that are not what was
intended.
Sample:
SELECT SOLI WITH DATE 2/31/04
Bad data 2/31/04 for conversion D2-. Unconverted data used for
selection.
-- select proceeds for 2 minutes with zero items selected --
