Date greater than or equal to

jimjohn
Sorry guys just a quick question. I have a variable, IssueDate, in date format (mm/dd/yyyy), and i want to select only cases where the variable is less than a particular date. When I just go to Select Cases, and I say IssueDate < 01/14/2004, my resulting file does not include dates only less than this date. I even did IssueDate <= 01/14/2004. Can somenoe plz tell me is this normally supposed to work and something is wrong on my end, or is there another way to select cases less than or equal to a particular date? Thanks so much!

If issuedate is really a date and not a string variable use the date.mdy
function in your logical expression--date.mdy(1,14,2004).
