Try the following
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
-*COMPUTE FECHA/HYYMDm=HGETC(10, FECHA);
COMPUTE FECHA/HYYMDm = HGETC(10,'HYYMDm');
CAR MODEL SEATS FECHA
BY COUNTRY
END

Code tightening?

Sorry my english no is good.
The function hgetc no work good in version 7.6.11.
I look for other function egual hgetc

Thanks.

I ran the code in 7.6.11 and just verified the version.
Volver a probar.

COMPUTE FECHA/HYYMDm = HGETC(10,'HYYMDm');

The documentation ONLY quotes the output format as having a format, not a fieldname, for the Hxxxxx functions for reporting.

Solved, thanks.
