Does anyone know what kind of date format is this?
index(issued_date,'F8'x) ^= 0 or
index(issued_date,'E4'x) ^= 0
Thanks in advance
The INDEX function only applies to character variables so it is anyone's guess what might type of date might be stored in it. Have you looked?
No, but you are correct.
No, but you are correct.
You are scanning a string for two characters.
Depending on the encoding, E4 is probably ä (latin small letter a with diaeresis)

thanks
