Strange data in date field with > L8 or R8 format & s/e 85
When the following code is run, error 85 will be generated. If the
format is changed to :L9, the error isn't encountered but the data
displayed is strange. See resolution below.
DEF VAR d AS DATE FORMAT "99/99/99":L20.
UPDATE d.
Enter a date and press return and it displays numbers
after the date and gives a message:
SE: Invalid date input (85).
To avoid this problem, use the following format:
"99/99/99":L8
The same applies to "99/99/99":R20 use R8 instead.
