Sidebar. I wanted to change a 6 digit date value when re-processing a data
set. The program would use today's date and I wanted to use the week prior.

So I ran the program in the debugger and when I got to that line I did
*/DTE = 081005
of which I replaced it with
080305.
and continued.

When it was done, it had posted it to date 80305. Fortunately it isn't a
date value just a posting reference. Thus, the debugger removed the leading
zero (aka MS Excel Zip Codes). This was on D3. Is this also on UV/UD?

Thanks.
Mark Johnson

P.S. Don't flame me for my method. Just focus on the debugger issue at hand.
Thanks.
