Help need on Date Calculation, Date Changed, 30/04/2006 to 30/12/1899

Dear All,

I am struggling with wrong date value.

Sceanrio

I am loading some data from the dBase III+ dbf files with the help of user DSN.

I want to add extra date type field to the table. For this I calculate a date with the help of under written statement


ak=date#(Peek('vDat',0,'tmpDate'));

enDate=monthend(MakeDate(year(ak),month(ak)))

enDate=30/04/2006

But as soon as I add this to the table date value changed to 30/12/1899 , here I am struggling what to to do I dont know.

I tried some thing but I am failled. I am using under written script in my QVW

ODBC CONNECT TO KLS;

tmpDate:

load *; SQL select max(VOU_DAT) as vDat from d:\Dos\Work\jour6 group by year(VOU_DAT),month(VOU_DAT);

ak=date#(Peek('vDat',0,'tmpDate'));

enDate=monthend(MakeDate(year(ak),month(ak)))

trn:

          load *, $(enDate) as trDate          ;

          SQL

          select * from (

                    select trCod,sum(amt1) as trAmt from (

                              select HED_COD as trCod, OP_BAL as amt1 from head6

                              union all

                              select HED_COD as trCod, sum(amt) as amt1 from jour6 where vou_Dat<=$(aks) group by HED_COD

                    ) as tb1 group by trCod

          ) as tb2 where trAmt<>0;

Please Help, Thanks In Advance

Try enclosing the date in single quotes (to avoid evaluating the division, resulting in zero -> 30/12/1899)

  load *, '$(enDate)' as trDate;
