Re: VFP sending 8 character date in runtime with SET('CENT')='ON'

Also make sure that your not just depending on the setting of century set in the development environment under tools->options and then setting as default. The runtime environment does not read the development environment's defaults. You must set century in your application in code, and also any time you have a private data session.

Do you use a private datasession in your form?
This resets lots of SETs to their default, which is OFF for SET CENTURY.
See SET DATASESSION in Help.

I have an application I run from both development FoxPro and from a
compiled EXE. I have CENTURY set to ON, and when running from the EXE
and writing the date to a memo file in a table (e.g. DTOC(chargedate) )
it gets written as 03/31/07. When running from the development
environment it's written as 03/31/2007.

Also vexing is the fact that when running the EXE, date fields in the
table are seen as 03/31/07 until mouse-clicked, when they expand to
03/31/2007 (i.e. if cursor is in the field). When running from the
development version of FoxPro (VFP 7.0) all the date entries are seen as
10 character (e.g. 03/31/2007).

Why am I getting this behavior and is there a fix or workaround? TIA.
