>Fabio, I don't see anything in the help file that says it doesn't work with SET DATE SHORT or SET DATE LONG, so why isn't it a bug (at least a bug in the help file).

Alan, it is a Documentation issue ( it is normal ).
I read :
SHORT
Short datetime format determined by the Windows Control Panel short datetime setting.


SET HOURS TO has the same behaviour.

SET DATE TO SHORT
SET HOURS TO 24
SET SECONDS ON

CLEAR
? DATETIME( )  && Displays time value with the seconds portion
SET HOURS TO 12
SET SECONDS OFF  && Displays time value without the seconds portion

? DATETIME( )
