Has any one experienced this problem when migrated from webfocus 5.2.1 to 5.2.6 on Win 2k. This is working fine in 5.2.1 and not in 5.2.6.
I am getting an error
(FOC36355) INVALID TYPE OF ARGUMENT #2 FOR USER FUNCTION DATECVT
when it is run in 5.2.1. Is there a change in how the date functions are executed?

DEFINE FILE CAR
GMTNOW/HMDYYI = HGETC(8,'HMDYYI');
GMTNOWA8/A8 = HCNVRT(GMTNOW, '(H17)', 17, 'A8');
GMTNOWI8/I8 = EDIT(GMTNOWA8);
GMTNOWYYMD/YYMD = DATECVT(GMTNOWI8,'I8YYMD','YYMD');
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR MODEL SEATS GMTNOWYYMD
BY COUNTRY
END


thanks,

Exactly. There is new functionality that checks arguments when calling subroutines.
To turn it off
SET USERFCHK=OFF.
To fix the original problem change the format of
GMTNOWI8/I8 = EDIT(GMTNOWA8);
to
GMTNOWI8/I8YYMD = EDIT(GMTNOWA8);

Thanks BIGBMN. That worked.

Also if there is no ELSE for IF, it throws up an error. Does any one has experienced with any other problems while migrating to 5.2.6?
