Date data type

Posted by Grant Foraker on September 14, 2009 at 14:43:13:

Adding a Date data type to Comet has been discussed at several past Dealer/Developer meetings. So, as a baby step, can we add a "D" field type to #CFILES.

Right now the majority of dates in my files are either "YYYYMMDD" or "MM/DD/YYYY". The "YYYYMMDD" ones for date sorting (in keys mostly) and the "MM/DD/YYYY" ones for display. The Date Serial Number is another possible option.

So, in the Reporter

SELECTING IF TRANS.DATE EQ "%FromDate%"

would prompt a Date Picker because TRANS.DATE was a "D" instead of a "S" field.
