Hi Jim:

Thanks a lot for your answer, I hope, it will help me.

Great, but, honestly, I have date in date format (adir() returns file modification date in date format), i.e. ldDate and time in character lcTime, so do I need to convert my ldDate into lcDate first by using dtoc() in order to use your function?

Thanks. But actually what I want just display in my Report file modification date and time. I already have 2 fields in my output table: FDateCreate (D) and FTimeCreate (C 10). Sure, I can add a new field FDateTimeCreate (T), change my program and use your function, but probably there is an easier way. What do you think?
