It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 59238
interpreted = N
texte = Yes, there is a pref for both displaying the date, and 'interpreting' a giving date. That is why it is important to try and eliminate any assumptions about how the date will formatted when the [date] date is used in a math equation. This can be done using the 'format' parameter in the [date] tag, as in the suggested math statement below. -----Original Message----- From: WebDNA Talk [mailto:WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com]On Behalf Of Patrick McCormick Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2004 08:55 PM To: WebDNA Talk Subject: Re: Old code new problem?
