Re: What date is it anyway?
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2004
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 57112
interpreted = N
texte = I've seen similar problems naming files using [date]. On rare occasions (like one in 100,000), always using the same code and never having a variable named "date", [writefile abc[date %Y%m%d]] will give me file names like:abc2004abc200403abcdateabcThis is using WebDNA 5.0.0g on OSX. I don't have a solution, and it hasn't hit a particularly critical area - mostly this hits on my common code for logging page hits, and missing a hit or two a day isn't a big deal. It is disturbing, however.- brianOn Mar 24, 2004, at 5:00 AM, Phil Ronchetti wrote:> I'm not using the date function inside an orderfile.
