Simon, do you not use an explicit conversion code when you ICONV, e.g "D/DMY[2,2,2]" for "dd/mm/yy"?

Hello all,
Has anyone else found the following, or am I missing something obvious
here?
I've been working on some VB6 code running uniobjects (v5.2, as is the
version of Unidata/NT), and had the need to pass a date out to a
unibasic subroutine called via the subroutine object. Said subroutine
does a little bobbing about with the passed date, and then constructs a
further date (sort of day:"/":month:"/":year construct), which is then
ICONVed and returned to the VB program. The problem that I found was the
the ICONV in the databasic returned an internal date as though the
originally constructed date was in MM/DD/YY (American) format, although
being in the UK we use the European DD/MM/YY format, as specified in the
DATE.FORMAT verb (on the server, and also executed as part of the
login).
Is this correct? Have I missed something?
Thanks for any replies.
Simon Carter
