Jon, of course, is right. Dates should be stored as serial date/time. Sadly the Q machine did not know about such sophistication.
#CFILES has this legacy thing to deal with.
And, of course, I agree with Grant BUT we need more than a D type. We need type codes like those so mnemonically defined for DATE2NUM. Easy to remember; flows trippingly from the tongue. Sadly we need more than one date code.
