Hi Negative number:
This is used to append a new element to an array: Array<-1> = NewValue is the same as: Array<DCount(Array,@FM)+1> = NewValue There is a note of caution: if NewValue is empty, it may not add a new marker character depending on the compiler options in force. For example: Array = "" NewValue = "" Array<-1> = NewValue Array<-1> = NewValue Array<-1> = "last" If $OPTIONS EXTRA.DELIM is in force, this will create 3 fields. If not, there will just be one field. Date Conversion There are reams of possible date conversions for different formats. This one means Date Use a / as the delimiter between day, month and year Use a two digit year. For full details, type HELP CONV D. There are too many to list here :) Brian Hi, What does a negative index mean in an array .If LIST<-1>=ID is a segment of the code what does this -ve number mean is it by default the first element. If we do a external conversion usng OCONV(sysdate,'D2/'),the D indicates the date conversion specification but why is the 2/ being used here...what can be the change in the conversion?
