I found a bug in filePro (I think)

I am writing a field from 6,ymd format to 8,mdy/ format...the date is 040329 and
comes out as 04/03/29...while the year COULD be 1929, should filePro convert it?
I know the solution is to move the ymd field to a dummy 8,mdy/ field than that
dummy field...but I shouldn't have to...

'post fields to new record, or refresh existing record
cko(2)=nwp(4);cko(3)=rt;cko(4)=7;cko(5)=34;cko(6)=tr

field cko(4) is the 8,mdy/ field and field 7 is defined as 6,ymd

If I am reading the date correctly, it translates to March 29, 2004.

If this is the case, the 8,mdy/ is reading the date correctly at posted, April
3, 2029.

This is not a bug, fp expects the values to be in the proper sequence.

You need to use a mid statement to translate the values into the proper sequence

Cko(4)=mid(7,"3","4"){mid(7,"1","2")
