I am trying to debug a report script and would like to translate a date field into the corresponding date.
I would like to do this inside the debugger and not the script.
The function num.to.date(..) etc do not seem to work.

Any ideas anyone ??

There is this BaaN_Date.exe executable... due to virus constraints I cannot send it ...

Hello,

If you want the Baan Date the I can send it to you by email ok !!
It's a free and tiny software that convert date and time from Baan format to conventional format, so it's very useful during a debugging session.

Pat, is there some place on the board for these kind of programs? (actually it should be part of a solution or maybe even the portingset...).

No not really as we don't have a download site yet. If the program is really valuable for the thread and can not be downloaded elsewhere then attach it to a post.

Here it is:

Besides the answer suggested by other using exe , there is another way also to get the same in debugger.

1. Type in date . It will give the system date in long .
2. Calculate the long value of the date from the system date value
3. assign this value to the date field in report script using assignment operator := (not = )

This will give the desired result
