Jose,

Dim Field(10):11 is 10 fields starting at field 11.  Let's assume that all
of the fields are (8,mdy/). Then ea should indicate which value in list is
wanted. Where is ea set?
Is there a test to see if ea has a value?
If ea = ""
Then GOTO.... or set ea =" 01/31/21"  

If: list(ea) gt "0" and ea ne ""
Then: ........

Ea would never be "0" it might be 00/00/00 As it is defined as a date field
ea could in this case be "01/00/00" but not "0".

Test this out.

So, looking at some code for a client trying to document their processes and
help find root cause for some problems they are having and came across this:


dim list(10):11


then, there is an if like so

if: list(ea) gt "0" :: ...


ea is defined as ea(8,mdy/,g) and populated from a table with date set as
01/31/2021


Fields 11 through 20 are defined as (6,.0)


Call me crazy but I thought that one would have to reference the object 
list() by its numeric
position not by value so, if I wanted to check field 12, I would have to 
check list("2")

What would you expect to be the condition for above IF statement?

NOTE: Posted the question before I even bothered to test it myself ...
