Convert Date Question

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi jhonken,

The answer command places the label of the clicked button into the it  
variable.
Then "it" has changed next time you use it.
But your thinking about using dateItems is right ;-)

local tDate,tYear,tMonth,tDay
   -----
   put the short date into tDate
   convert tDate from short date to dateItems
   put item 1 of tDate into tYear
   put item 2  of tDate into tMonth
   put item 3 of tDate into tDay -- not char
   answer tYear & cr & tMonth & cr & tDay

Best Regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet
