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 :)

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?

Thanks
Sanjeeb
