This came from the U2Ug website Better and Better Enhancement Forum, I
tried it and they are correct. Is this a bug or is there something wrong
with the way it is being done?

UNIVERSE BUG:
I found a bug where if a dictionary item is created for a multivalued
field holding internal dates, and the dictionary item has a "DM"
conversion (yielding the number of the month), and it is used to report
on data known to exist, Retrieve reports that no items are present. I
reported on a file that I knew had data for a certain month. "MONTH" is
a dict item ("D" in attr 1) with the DM conversion. I used the
statements:
LIST FILE WHEN MONTH = "12"
and
SELECT FILE BY-EXP MONTH WHEN MONTH = "12"
In both cases, no items or values were returned, and the appropriate
message was issued. This worked fine when the conversion was 'D2/', but
consistently failed with 'DM'. Investigation revealed that the dict
item seemed to fail in some ways to do the conversion, and did selection
and returned values based on the internal date, not the number of the
month. At my office we are interested in and concerned about this. We
appreciate any input on this, and feel that it is obviously important.
Thank you.
