I appreciate any and all help! Thanks... QUIZ or other 4GLs might be able to do this. I didn't look up the PowerHouse date format for the K1 type, so it may be the same. However, why not write a quick program? Here's a simple SPLash! date := CALENDAR; time := CLOCK; move ba'buf := 80(" "); FMTDATE (date, time, ba'buf(25)); Where data is a logical, time is a double, and ba'buf is a byte (or character) array. The intrinsic names are in caps. Very easy, simple and quick. -------------------------------------------------- Larry Boyd <[log in to unmask]>
