Compiling the project works fine under FPC 2.3.1 (linux 64bit), but running it, i get a EConvertError and I don't know why. I am telling sysutils what LongDateFormat is like, but it still fails. Any ideas?
It is documented: 1. StrToDate uses shortdateformat. 2. StrToDate DOES NOT use shortdateformat to check the actual format; because it accepts only dates of the form N1/N2/N3 - it uses ShortDateFormat ONLY to determine the order of y,m,d - it uses DateSeparator to determine the actual date separator to use instead of / You make a common assumption, which is mistaken: StrToDate(DateToStr(date)) generally does not work.
