A Bug warning

[Richard Kreiss]

I found the following bug, which has been reported to FPSUPPORT.

When passing a date field using a -r variable, and then doing a date function using the received @p_ value, the month is always the current month.

Example:

Declare fdate(10,mdyy/)
Fdate="08/15/2017"

Doit="\fp\rreport foobar -f fooReport -v sel_foo -rx Fdate -a -u"

System doit

Debugger on in sel_foo

Declare StartDate(10,mdyy/),EndDate(10,mdyy/)

StartDate=BOM(@px);EndDate=EOM(@px)

When checking the value of @px, it will show as 08/15/2017. However, checking the value of StartDate, it will be 06/01/2017 and enddate will be 06/30/2017.

To get around this problem I added the following px(10,mdyy/)=@px (px has the correct dates).

Then: StartDate=BOM(px);EndDate=EOM(px) (Dates are correct)
