Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
OpenEdge 10.x
Progress 9.x
SYMPTOM(s):
DATE Function returns unknown (?) value
The argument of the function is a variable of data type DATE
The argument of the function is a widget INPUT-VALUE attribute
This works fine in version 9
CHANGE:
Migrated to OpenEdge 10
CAUSE:
This is expected behavior, the DATE Function does not accept a DATE as argument.
In version 9 this use to work when used with the INPUT-VALUE attribute, because, due to a bug the return from the INPUT-VALUE was converted to a CHAR.
FIX:
Cast the argument of the function to a string before using it.
DATE (STRING(myValue))
instead of
DATE (myValue)
