PREVIOUS Function

[jsp]

Is there any known bug with the PREVIOUS function in v8.0?__

[TestUser]

The only thing that I know about is that queries that use previous() based calc fields behave differently in 8.x than they did in the DOS or the 16bit releases.__Users can work around this generally by using a line logical.__ __Apart from that, it should behave as documented.__ __

Previous() with a date field has given us trouble in 8.0 and 8.1 We create a calc field to hold a DTOC() value and use that instead.

What kind of issues have you seen with PREVIOUS() and dates?____Kathleen__R&R Support____

I^ll look up an example, but we are using European format dates (dd/mm/yy) and I wonder if that is a factor.
