    Posted: 03 Dec 2009 at 6:56am
I am trying to create the following formula:
 
       datediff ("ww", cdate(invoice_date), currentdate)
 
When I add it to my report I get an error:
 
      "Dates must be between year 1 and year 9999."
 
In the DB2 DB it has the invoice field as a int. (20090123).
 
How can I work around this to get the number of days between these to dates?  Do I have to convert the invoice date in Crystal?  If so how?
 
Apprciate the help.

Thanks for the help....

I still get the error, but after playing around with what you send I did the following input and and output:
 
        input:     left(totext(invoice date),10)
 
        output:  20,090,922
 
How do I remove the commas?
