I've got the following define in WebFOCUS 7.6.4 to translate out a date value (this came from the focal point article "Zulu Time" - Zulu Time).

DEFINE FILE SOC_CLR_AUDITLOG
-*Reformat CH_CREATE_DATE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
TEMP1/A16= SUBSTR(16,EDIT(CH_CREATE_DATE),7,16,16,TEMP1);
TEMP2/D13= EDIT(TEMP1);
GMTBASE/I8YYMD WITH CH_CREATE_DATE = 19700101;
GMTBASE2/YYMD= GMTBASE;
GMTBASE2DTM/HYYMDIA= HDTTM(GMTBASE2,8,'HYYMDIA');
FOCUSDATE/HYYMDIA= HADD(GMTBASE2DTM,'SECONDS',TEMP2,8,'HYYMDIA');
-* You have to adjust this result by your GMT offset.
FOCUSDATE/HYYMDIA= HADD(FOCUSDATE,'HOUR', -4,8,'HYYMDIA');
-* Downloadable form:
CH_CREATE_DT/A20 = HCNVRT(FOCUSDATE,'(HYYMDIA)',20,'A20');
END

When I run this in 7.6.4, with a value of "1152189445" for CH_CREATE_DATE, I get "2006/07/06 8:37AM" for CH_CREATE_DT.

When I run this in 7.1.6, with a value of "1152189445" for CH_CREATE_DATE, I get "1969/12/31 8:00PM" for CH_CREATE_DT.

Since this is same data source, and the same defines, why would this be happening?

1969/12/31 is the 0 date.

Here is what I've used for 7.1....

-SET &OFFSETHOURS = 8;
DEFINE FILE CAR
CH_CREATE_DATE/D16 WITH COUNTRY = 1152189445;

OFFSETHOURS/D5.1 WITH COUNTRY = &OFFSETHOURS ;
OFFSETDAYS/D7.5 = IF OFFSETHOURS LT 0 THEN 1+OFFSETHOURS/24 ELSE
OFFSETHOURS/24;
GMTCORRECT/D6.4 = OFFSETDAYS + .00005 ;

-* use this if alpha.....
-*TEMP1/A13 = SUBSTR(32,CH_CREATE_DATE,20,32,13,TEMP1);
-*TEMP2/D13 = EDIT(TEMP1);

TEMP2/D13 = CH_CREATE_DATE;
tMINUTES/I10 = TEMP2/(60*1000) ;
tDAYS/D10.4 = tMINUTES/(60*24);
tDATE/D10.4 = tDAYS + 25567 + GMTCORRECT ;
EXCELDATE/D10.4 = tDATE + 1 ;
GETDATE/I5 = tDATE ;
DAYSHARE/D6.4 = tDATE - GETDATE ;
HOURSHARE/D6.2 = DAYSHARE * 24 ;
HOURS/I2L = HOURSHARE ;
MINUTESSHARE/D6.2 = HOURSHARE - HOURS;
MINUTES/I2L = MINUTESSHARE * 60;
iDATE/I8YYMD = DTYMD(tDATE,iDATE);
CDATE/A14 = EDIT(iDATE)|EDIT(HOURS)|EDIT(MINUTES);
CH_CREATE_DT/HYYMDS = HINPUT(14, CDATE, 8, 'HYYMDS');
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CH_CREATE_DT
END

Thanks. I'll give this a shot.

Any idea why the defines that work in 7.6.4 would not work in 7.1.6?

Code tightening.

Do a search of 7.1. on this forum and you'll see lots of discussion on the topic.

and whats goofier, the article was written on 5.2.8.
I just tried some versions of the 2 examples you all wrote above in 765 and i got gibberish.
I'll research, and update the article, but probably not till after Summit.

DEFINE FILE CAR

-*TEMP2/D13= EDIT(TEMP1); 
TEMP2/D13 WITH COUNTRY= 1152189445 ;
GMTBASE/I8YYMD WITH COUNTRY= 19700101;
GMTBASE2/YYMD= GMTBASE;

FOCUSDATE/HYYMDIA= HADD(FOCUSDATE,'HOUR', -4,8,'HYYMDIA');
-* Downloadable form:
CH_CREATE_DT/A20 = HCNVRT(FOCUSDATE,'(HYYMDIA)',20,'A20');
END
  
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CH_CREATE_DT
END

cwm
can we see a dump of eachof your defined variables, 1 by 1, for the 71 execution and for the 76 execution.
That way we can see exactly where the oops is.

I also thought that since the article was written on 5.2.*, that there would not be a difference between 7.1.6 and 7.6.4.

7.1.6:

CH_CREATE_DATE 1152189445
TEMP1 1152189445
TEMP2 1,152,189,445
GMTBASE 1970/01/01
GMTBASE2 1970/01/01
GMTBASE2DTM 1970/01/01 12:00AM
FOCUSDATE 1969/12/31 8:00PM
CH_CREATE_DT 1969/12/31 8:00PM

7.6.4:

CH_CREATE_DATE 1152189445
TEMP1 1152189445
TEMP2 1,152,189,445
GMTBASE 1970/01/01
GMTBASE2 1970/01/01
GMTBASE2DTM 1970/01/01 12:00AM
FOCUSDATE 2006/07/06 8:37AM
CH_CREATE_DT 2006/07/06 8:37AM

One "code tighting" that happenned somewhere between v 5.2.1 and 7.1.3 was in HADD:

The argument "MILLISECONDS" has to be "MILLISECOND". That one took me a while to figure out in our last upgrade. I remember someone else pointed this out also not too long ago.

Oh, jeez. That worked.

I don't think I ever would have figured out that one.
