Date Conversion Error 1218

I did an dbexport on a database using INFORMIX-OnLine Version 7.23.UC4. When I attempted to dbimport the database I receive the following error: -1218 String to date conversion error. The input to the rstrdate() function does not properly represent a date: either it has nondigits where digits are expected, an unexpected delimiter, or numbers that are too large or are inconsistent. Does anyone have an idea of what could actually be causing this problem? The date data in the columns specified as date column look fine? TIA Cheryl L. Kendricks Sr. DBA H.E.
