Error description

  • Environment: Windows XP
    Rational Business Developer 7.5.1.6
    Description:
    The Date calculations that involve values being assigned from a
    String are working correctly, but if the value is coming from
    CurrentDate or TextField.text, the calculation does not work
    correctly.
    
    Example:
    RUIhandler {initialUI = [],onConstructionFunction
    = initialization, cssFile='css/test.css'}
    
        function calculateDate(dateD date in)
    
            SysLib.writeStdout('date: ' + dateD);
    
            dateD -= 0;
    
            SysLib.writeStdout('-0 days: ' + dateD);
    
            dateD -= 1;
    
            SysLib.writeStdout('-1 days: ' + dateD);
    
        end
    
        function initialization()
    
            dateD date = currentDate();
    
            calculateDate(dateD);
    
            dateS String = currentDate();
    
            dateD = dateS;
    
            calculateDate(dateD);
    
        end
    
    end
    
    // Result:
    
    //date: 10/14/2010
    
    //-0 days: 10/15/2010
    
    //-1 days: 10/14/2010
    
    //date: 10/14/2010
    
    //-0 days: 10/14/2010
    
    //-1 days: 10/13/2010
