Re: date issue (one day more)

Having read all of these emails I am clear that, to paraphrase the song "there is nothing like a date, nothing in the world, there is nothing you can name that is anything like a date" And then of course there is Microsoft. But does anybody remember HyperScript? That has some interesting problems with dates as well. And then of course there is the well known Informix DBDATE bug where we couldn't query dates in UK even if we set DBDATE=dmy4/. I don't think that Informix can point the finger at others when they can't always get it right themselves and have only learnt quite recently that other parts of the world use different date conventions. And as fot DATETIME - the computer industry can't resolve the problems with dates. Whats wrong with star date 35721.45623 regards Malcolm (very bored today folks:-0) sending to informix-list
