The mask must be in single quotes
  ex1:
  print $begin-dt (,+5) edit 'mm-dd-yyyy'
  ex2:
  let $begin-dt = edit($begin-dt,'dd/mm/yyyy')
  print $begin-dt (,+5)

G'day all.

Can someone please tell me if you have ever used the   EDIT DD/MM/YYYY
function
with the print command.   I have a date in database format held in a
variable and attempting to
print it the format of my choice.  All i get printed to the report is
DD/MM/YYYY and not the
actual date ??

Example.      print  $Begin-Dt     (,+5)     edit dd/mm/yyyy

Has anyone had any luck with this.
Any ideas appreciated.

Cheers
Arthur.
