Converting Date String to Date

Hi there,

I am trying to convert a date string (YYYYMMDD) to a date (DDMMYY). Using the following formula, I have met with partial success, the day and the year pull through correctly for each entry but the month is always (01).

E.g. (20011031 = 31/01/2001) or (20011201 = 01/01/2001) or (20031208 = 08/01/2003)

My formula is as follows.

//Convert The Status Changed Date

NumberVar xy := tonumber(Left({AUT001.Date Status Last Changed},4));
NumberVar xd := Day(Datevalue (tonumber(Right({AUT001.Date Status Last Changed},2))+1));
NumberVar xm := Month(Datevalue (tonumber(Mid({AUT001.Date Status Last Changed},5,2))+1));

Date(xy,xm,xd)

I am using Crystal 10 and am totally stumped.

Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks in advance.Datevalue of a number ,say x, will return December (30+x), 1899.
So, according to ur formula if the month is 'May' then xm will contain January 5,1900(December (30+5+1),1899).Have added 1 additionally as u have added 1 in ur formula.
So when u take the month fn. it wil return January which is 1(as u have stated).
Hence datevalue of the number(for months at the max. can be 12) will return a date in January only and hence always u get month as January.

tried in crystal 8 and the following worked not sure about Crystal 10

numbervar xy := tonumber(left({@.stringdate},4));
numbervar xd := tonumber(right({@.stringdate},2));
numbervar xm := tonumber(Mid({@.stringdate},5,2));

Date(xy,xm,xd);|||Thank worked fine, thanks very much.
