Sarah Reichelt has done a library ( http://www.troz.net/Rev/
libraries.html ) that includes Julian dates, and various other types,
including numeric dates eg 20060202, which I've found useful.

set useSystemDate to true
put "13/5/1934" into x
if x is a date
then
put "Yes, it's a date."
convert x to long date

Gregory,
I've found that working with dates in Rev can be kind of a pain. I
have a history project that needs to deal with dates in B.C. and
A.D. What I am experimenting with right now is using Julian dates
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_date>. These end up being
decimal number that is easy to compare, sort, etc. I found some
javascript functions for converting YYYY-MM-DD to Julian dates
here: <http://aa.usno.navy.mil/js/JulianDate.js>. The calculator
that uses that code is at <http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/
JulianDate.html>.
I have the Transcript versions available if you want to see them
but I have put them through enough testing yet so there may still
be some glitches.
Maybe someone else has a better suggestion then going this route
but Julian Dates seemed to solve the problems I was facing.
