date output

[kkominiarek]

i've tried 8 forum suggestions and i cannot get the month and day to post correctly.

 

any help will be greatly appreciated...this is what i have.

 

 

original v9 post-

 

pheader

 

"(CREATED ON - ",*month,45,*day,45,*year,")", e

 

 

this is what was coded in program = (CREATED ON - 05-12-07)

 

 

mcx2 mr2 sp1

using updatepost.dll this is what i have-

 

pheader

 

"(CREATED ON - ",month$ ,"-",day$ ,"-",year$ ,")", e$

 

this is what was coded in program = (CREATED ON - --07)

Make sure the string that are in has the $ in it.

 

I would download the newest MPMASTER and use it verse the update.dll. JMHO

What happens if you force the info e.g

*month$

 

This is what I have

 

code:

---

 n$, sopen_prn, month$, "-", day$, "-", year$, " - ", ptime, sclose_prn, e$ 

---

which posts as

 

code:

---

 (01-21-08 - 5:18 PM) 

---

+1 to the newest MPMASTER.

if i change to this......(add *)

 

"(CREATED ON - ", *month$ ,"-", *day$ ,"-",year$ ,")", e$

 

 

i get this..... = (CREATED ON - 001- -08)

 

month & day still not post correctly.

3rd string.....your code did not work.

 

thanks for trying

Ken,

 

can I get a peek at your post?

 

I am think the variables for the missing information have been either removed or commented out.

 

From what I have seen so far it seems your coding "should" work.

jparis thanx for offer.....

 

i'm getting close.....

 

these are variables in post

fmt 14 day$

fmt 14 month$

fmt 6 year2

year2 = year$ + 2000

 

 

this is in my post

"(CREATED ON - ", month$ ,"-",day$ ,"-",year$ ,")", e$

 

this is what is coded out

(CREATED ON - 1.-24.-08)

 

 

i would like it to look like this

(CREATED ON - 01-24-08)

 

any ideas how to get rid of points and

force month to two digits???

[Guest]

try fmt 5 instead

[kkominiarek]

5 in any or all fmt....did not work

[kkominiarek]

my reseller saw my question...he stepped in and solved.

 

these fmt lines were the problem, so once blocked out....the date coded as i wanted (01-23-08)

#fmt 14 day$

#fmt 14 month$

#fmt 6 year2

#year2 = year$ + 2000

 

if i understand correctly.....in X2 anything in the post with $ at the end is taken at face value....so month$ day$ year$ come right

from the computer, we don't need to force these values.

 

thanks to chris parish at optipro and all others who helped.
