doedit usage

[Scott Walker]

I have a sort/select process.

In an input statement, the user enters a Post Date in pd(8,mdy/)

If they enter "09/31/08" the edit on pd will not take it.

If they enter "093108" and press <del> ONE TIME, and then press <Enter>,
the "093108" is accepted and the processing moves on to the next line.

Testing for @sk eq "BRKY" does not seem to prevent this since the last
@sk is really "ENTR".

So I'm trying to use "doedit" as an extra check of the validity of the
date entered.

I tried:

dt=doedit(pd,"mdy/")

Then I test to see if dt is blank, as I thought it would be since the
value of "093108" should not pass the mdy/ edit.

But the value of dt shows "093108"

Any suggestions?
