Hey Jim,

This'll do it.

LPARAMETERS cLongDate
nStrictdate=SET("STRICTDATE")
cDate=RIGHT(cLongDate,4)
cMonths="   JANFEBMARAPRMAYJUNJULAUGSEPOCTNOVDEC"
cMonthNum=TRANSFORM((AT(UPPER(LEFT(cLongDate,3)),cMonths)-1)/3)
cDayNum=TRANSFORM(VAL(SUBSTR(cLongDate,AT(" ",cLongDate)+1,2)))
cDate=cMonthNum+"/"+cDayNum+"/"+cDate
dDate=CTOD(cDate)
SET STRICTDATE TO nStrictdate
RETURN dDate

Use as dMyDate=CVRTDATE("Sept 9,1999")

>I once used a function or precedure I thought I downloaded from the knowledge base that I can't seem to find now. This code took a spelled out date like, Sept 3, 1999, and converted to a numeral date of 09/03/1999. Would someone know what that article number was on Knowledge base, or have the actual code that would convert the date type?
