I'm still having difficulty with the date formatting. (I did a
work-around for the previous problem.)
I have a field called Remit.Sent. If I print this field with %s as the
format, I get 08/02/2004. What I want is August 2, 2004, so I tried
using format = "'%B %e, %Y'" but I get nothing printed out. If I use
format = "'!@%B %e, %Y'" I get a 1, which isn't even part of the date.
I could do a work around for this, also, which involves doing a query to
the table, substringing the date parts, and using an array of month
names to construct the date in a variable, which I would then put in the
query that is passed to rlib. But I really think these date formats
should work.
