Date entries

[Mike Mackinnon]

Does anybody know how to get a date "day"?

Example: Jan 26, 2001 --> I want to isolate the "26"
Feb 3, 2001 --> I want to isolate the "3"

I have tried already to get this but I run into problems because of different date settings on different machines/users (01-01-26 vs. 01/01/26, etc).

I am sure this is something easy but I am currently unable to determine the business function or other requirements to get this to work. Thank you.

hi mike,
it looks like you use the variable "assignment/expression" in the even rules. highlight your variable in left box and then click on the f(x) button. from there i think you can use the "date_day()" function to insert just the number day into your variable.
i haven't time to try it but it looks pretty straight forward.

Hi Mike,

To get the day in Tools you must do:

1. Inside an ER Select the Assignment button
2. At the left side select the number variable for the day (Number (2))
3. At the right side select the button f(x)
4. In Advanced Functions box dobleclick DATE FUNCTIONS
5. Dobliclick Date_Day() function
6. In Available Information, select the date variable

That's it

See you
