What is the format of your date field?
Is it HYYMDS?
if it is, the TODAY function doesn't work and its HGETC(length, outfield) to get the current date.

ex. MODDATE/HYYMDS = HGETC(8, 'HYYMDS');

you can try that to get the current date for comparision purposes.

Thank very much.

If I want to limit records on field 'Created_date', how can I make it work in developer studio? what exactly I should type there?

Yeah I remember running into the comparison problem and ended up with this solution:

DEFINE FILE DBNAME
CRDATE/YYMD = HDATE(MODDATE, 'YYMD');
END

TABLE FILE DBNAME
PRINT ....
IF CRDATE EQ &YYMD
END

Hope that solves your problem!

Eeker GUI... hmm.. I actually havn't used report painter too much but it involves first creating a DEFINE of the table you are using. In there you create the new field CRDATE format "YYMD" with text: "HDATE(MODDATE, 'YYMD')"

after that, you can go in Report Painter, amd click on the If/Where button and creating a new If expression "CRDATE EQ &YYMD".

Hope that helps!
