>You can use them, with care. A better or more secure way would be to parse the date and build a date-safe command like DATE(yyyy,mm,dd) or using the strict date format: {^yyyy-mm-dd[,][hh[:mm[:ss]][a|p]]} (e.g. {^2003-01-16}). The presentation of the internal date depends on settings (see SET >DATE in the help files).
