Ernie,

How does run date, an I1 field, hold an eight digit date in yyyymmdd 
format.  I1 will hold a maximum value of 32767.  How does it hold 
20090909?  Wouldn't you need an I2?

Greetings,

I have this dataset...

Entry:                     Offset
   FILE-NO              X6      1
   ITEM-NAME           X16     7
   GROUP                X8     23
   RUN-DATE             I1     31


The item RUN-DATE holds an 8-character date in the form of yyyymmdd but I 
can't
get anything in a human-readable format.  I've defined the item as noted 
in
the manual, (2,integer), but nothing works.

Is there any way to test that field for a date value such as =20090909?

If I can extract it somehow, I could use a table and $LOOKUP, but even 
playing around
with STExport provided nothing.

Thanks,

Ernie
