Remember, UniObjects does not run any LOGIN or similar initialisation stuff, including wherever you set your DATE.FORMAT. You need to explicitly run this as part of your connection script. NOTE that on some installations, I've found that it disappears if you call it from an execute in a subroutine, and you need to explicitly run it from the COMMAND object. Duh.

Simon, do you not use an explicit conversion code when you ICONV, e.g "D/DMY[2,2,2]" for "dd/mm/yy"? John Appleyard Arthur J. Gallagher (UK) Limited "Simon Carter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CO.UK> cc: (bcc: John Appleyard/BSDUK/AJG) Sent by: Subject: [U2] Quirk of Uniobjects? [EMAIL PROTECTED] er.u2ug.org 16/08/2004 15:28 Please respond to u2-users Hello all, Has anyone else found the following, or am I missing something obvious here? I've been working on some VB6 code running uniobjects (v5.2, as is the version of Unidata/NT), and had the need to pass a date out to a unibasic subroutine called via the subroutine object. Said subroutine does a little bobbing about with the passed date, and then constructs a further date (sort of day:"/":month:"/":year construct), which is then ICONVed and returned to the VB program. The problem that I found was the the ICONV in the databasic returned an internal date as though the originally constructed date was in MM/DD/YY (American) format, although being in the UK we use the European DD/MM/YY format, as specified in the DATE.FORMAT verb (on the server, and also executed as part of the login). Is this correct? Have I missed something? Thanks for any replies.
