Date field shows /OV

IT is most likely you have the PFCMARK set incorrectly?

@td will only display correctly if the system has the right century.

set PFCMARK=20

Then filepro will understand 1920 to 2019 without the century.

Use @t4 to include the century.  Any date with only the 2 digit year 
will be affected if the PFCMARK is not set or is set less than 17.

If you need birthdates, then set it low but greater than the current 
year by a few.  If you are usually tracking current dates set it high 
such as 85, then 1985-2084 will be assumed when no century is given.

I also show the results of @td in the debugger.  When I run the date commend from the shell I get the correct date.
