    Posted: 16 Jun 2009 at 5:52am
we just installed 2008 from an earlier version and it appears the date convention 1899,12,30 no longer works. Anyone know what the new date we should use in this 2008 version that replaces the Dec 30, 1899 date?  (note: (0,0,0) does not work.) 
  (note: the 1899,12,30 was used when we needed to display only active jobs: so we would have to program Crystal to show something in  the jobs.end field....that way Crystal didn't return results showing both active and ended jobs....)
 
 
 
 
 
Thanks, Rick

How are you calling/using this?  I have never used that notation without some function name before it.
 
I don't have 2008, but am curious as to how you were using this.  I know that if you populate a date in SQL with the value of 0, you get 1/1/1900, so I am guessing that a date with a value of -1 would give you 12/31/1899.
 
Just wondering.

I use this  as    jobs.enddate= date (1899,12,30)    and what it does is checks the jobs end date field and if blank (which means the job is still open), then  the report will see the... date(1899,12,30) and know the job is still open.....if I leave out this command statement, my results will include all jobs, active and jobs that have ended.

the isnull does not work for you?
isnull({jobs.enddate})
What is your datasource type?

Try jobs.enddate= TO_DATE('1899-12-31', 'yyyy-mm-dd'). It worked for me. BTW I am using Oracle DB.
