>IMPORTANT: Even if you were careful to put SET DATE BRITISH in the main program file, if the code in question executes in a private data session -- the default configuration of SET DATE AMERICAN will be in effect (unless of course you set it explicitly in code). (i.e. in private data session, the system defaults apply)
>
>Another point: Another point to be careful about is if you have date or datetime constants in your code, make sure you specify them in the explicit format of {^yyyy.mm.dd} (or use the DATE() function) rather than a region-dependent format. Where this could bite you is the interpretation of that the interpretation of such constant in code is dependent on the region configuration at the time the code is compiled. Expressions such as CTOD("01/02/03") would give different results at runtime, depending on the date format set at the time that line of code is executed.
>

dDate = {01/02/03}   && dependent on SET DATE configuration at compile time
>dDate = CTOD("01/02/03")  && Dependent on SET DATE at run time
>dDate = {^2000.01.02}  && not dependent on SET DATE at runtime nor compile time
>dDate = DATE(2011,01,03)  && not dependent on SET DATE at runtime nor compile time

Hi Naoto,

the SET DATE BRITISH and SET CENTURY ON lines are in Luis' code. It is all running in the default datasession.

If you got it to work, that means you have some setting different to Luis and me.

This is my exact code:

SET DATE BRITISH
SET CENTURY ON ROLLOVER 50
