@td gives /OV

[Robert Repko]

I know what the code is doing I wrote the program, if it returns a negative number I adjust it from there. I do that routine all time on a different server with no errors.  The question is why does @td return /OV

Your code is trying to subtract "6" from the current month (which is 4 April).
@td returns MM/DD/YY

Sorry, I sent the message by accident



Running filePro 5.7.00.04R4 on SCO Unix 5.0.7

In a processing table I assign a numeric value to a variable based on the month of a date (@td).  I'm getting /O in that variable

When debugging the processing table I get /OV when I press 'f' for field and enter @td.

Processing lines:

pe(2,.0)=mid(@td,"1","2")-"6"



The Unix system date is correct.

@dt gives me the correct date.



Any ideas why I am getting the error on @td
