Mike: No luck with that either. Also tried to use Datenum but that
doesn't work either.
What I am trying to backtest are Buys and Sells, but only if they
occur (for example) in 1998.
This is achieved without problem using the range control, but I can't
get it to work using a date function in the afl.
