Hi Gang: I have been parsing date strings (such as 4-Aug-1999) under JDK1.1.6 using the DateFormat "parse" method. When I switched to 1.2.2 I keep getting "ParseException:Unparseable date:"4-Aug-1999" Is this a bug in 1.2.2 or have I left something out. I have scanned the FAQs and come up dry. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks in advance Greg Tomalesky ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
