I see - the SET DATE is, indeed, not respected.

But you can change it as follows:

SET CENTURY OFF
ldTest = DATE()
@1,1 GET ldTest picture "@D"

For "picture" options, see the help topics for InputMask (equivalent to the PICTURE clause), and Format (equivalent to the FORMAT clause - can be included in PICTURE with the "@" sign).

>>In Visual FoxPro forms, each form can have a "private datasession"; meaning that an option like SET CENTURY can be ON in one form, and OFF in another, and have to be set in each individual form (if you use private datasessions). I don't think this should apply to screens ported from old FoxPro, but it may be a thing to check.
