Isn't your 2nd line of code going to be doing a string comparison on the date, not a true date (number) comparison?

I always do an internal format comparison of dates. If you need to do string comparisons, you d want them in YYYY-MM-DD format, but I advise against it.

Below is a simplified example of our issue B$CHECK.855.SENT: 51: IF ST.DATE # "" THEN B$CHECK.855.SENT: 52: IF ST.DATE < "12-31-11" THEN B$CHECK.855.SENT: 53: PRINT PL:"Date is less than 12-31-11...": : ST.DATE/ STRING: T r L=8 `01-20-12' We have this issue with programs and with SELECT statements throughout. When you qualify a date for this year to a date from 2011 it screws up. Barry Rogen Senior Programmer/Analyst PNY Technologies, Inc.
