Re: [amibroker] StrToDateNum

First: there is NO such function as StrToDateNum.
 
The function that actuall EXISTS is called StrToDateTime.
And it returns DateTime, not datenum.
 
Therefore you should use DateTime() to compare:
 
Dat     =     "02/04/2007";
Dat1    =    StrToDateTime(Dat);
BuyPrice = ValueWhen(DateTime()==Dat1,C,1);

Subject: [amibroker] StrToDateNum

I guess I do not understand the function StrToDateNum, as simple as the definition seems to be.
 
I have a string "02/04/2007", say
 
Dat     =     "02/04/2007";
Dat1    =    StrToDateNum(Dat);
 
I would like to find the Price on that date.
 
BuyPrice = ValueWhen(DateNum()==Dat1,C,1);
 
produces a large and incorrect value.
 
Can someone help me with why the above does not produce the correct value?
The Help definition for StrToDateNum has the example as "2007-Feb-04", but my string is formatted as mm/dd/yyyy.
Would this be the reason?
 
Thanks,
Ken
