Re: PROBLEM CREATING A DATE VARIABLE

[Alan Mead]

    Something is screwed up. 
    
    I cannot replicate your exact bug on Windows 7 using 1.4.0-gc3c044.
    I could try installing the version you have, but it is misbehaving
    and crashing for me. 
    
    I am attaching test2.sav, which is a tiny dataset where I added the
    two variables you have and added some junk data. I ran your code
    without a crash by opening that file as syntax and run > all. 
    
    No crash at that point, but when I looked at the data, it was
    (badly) corrupted. And when I tried to save the corrupted data,
    psppire crashed.
