Seems rather restrictive. So you're saying that if I decide to code up a julean type date and use only the last two digits of the year, that's impossible to do in Ada? So as a user, I have to always type the four digit year? This is unecessary in most cases. As the first two digits can be determined with some intelligent logic. -------------------------------------------- David Bradley davidb@datalytics.com Software Engineer Datalytics, Inc. http://www.datalytics.com
