The v102 field is a Global type field. To make the fix you need to change
the field to a Calculated field then apply the specified calculation.
The full text of the fix should have read:
5) Fixed bug in the way Global Date is formatted in PLEDGES
------------------------------------------------------------
TO ADD THIS FIX TO YOUR VERSION OF EBASE:
--------------------------------------------
A) Determine if this is a problem:
-Get into ebase using your master password. Once you're on the HOME
screen, Click on the Pledges button
and them the View pledges button to bring you to the pledges_.102 file.
Now select: File->Define->Fields.
-Double-click on the field named " Global Date".
-The "Specify Calculation" dialog box will appear. The correct calculation
for this field is as follows:
CONSTANT::gToday
-And that the Calculation result is field on the Specify Calculation
dialog box is set to "Date"
B) If the calculation for your field reads differently, you should correct
it by:
- Single click on the field named "Global Date", if the File Type on the
dialog is GLOBAL change it to CALCULATION by clicking on the radio button
next to Calculation.
-Copy this calculation:
CONSTANT::gToday
-Paste this calculation into the "Specify Calculation" dialog box.
-If the Calculation result is field is set not set to "Date", choose
"Date" from it's pull down option list.
-Click the "OK" button.
-Click the "Done" button.

Good question, This report does not appear on the Output Layout. The Payment
Report we were fixing is the report that is accessed from the REPORT button
on the View Payments Layout and the Payment entry Layout.
