Here's a hilarious experience I just had a few minutes ago. And it's TRUE, I do not make it up!
I did:
select distinct ttod( a.from ) from ( lcFile ) into array laTmp
Since the table currently only has values 10-10-2003, this should have given:
laTmp[1] "10-10-2003"
but it gave:
laTmp[1] "02-02-2003"
I did a lot of debugging, couldn't explain what was happening and we thought with a laughter "well, maybe it's an easter egg, translating bin 10 to dec 02". :)
In fact, what was the cause?! I forgot to specify the a behind lcFile. And there was a similar table open in workarea a! The record over there indeed had 02-02-2003.
We have had a really good laugh! :))

Constructive frustration is the breeding ground of genius.
If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
