				That's because the format clause doesn't even slightly match the string. _________________ Honesty is the best policy.

				I'm sure the parsing error would be helpful.
 
 
I'm sure a small bit of manually matching your value to your pattern would also be helpful. _________________ chmod  -R ugo-wx / |

And there is a whole section in the Info Centre dedicated to all the different Cast formats that are relevane to DATE, TIME and TIMESTAMP Variable types along with examples. _________________ WMQ User since 1999

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |
