.DISCUSSION..:
In this section, we present an overview of the functions that can specified on the /F (function) parameter.

Fdate's most important parameter is the function parameter, /F. Here is a brief summary of the functions that may be specified on the /F parm, for example: /Fadd. Detailed descriptions of each of the functions can be found in other sections of this documentation.

If the /F parameter is omitted, it defaults to the null string, which causes Fdate to display its HELP screens.

The general format of an Fdate statement is:

with a variety of parameters following the /F.

For example:


GENERAL DATE FUNCTIONS
==================================================


STRING-HANDLING FUNCTIONS
==================================================



DATE/TIME COMPARISON FUNCTIONS
==================================================



MATH FUNCTIONS
==================================================

Note that these are NOT date math functions; they are NUMBER math functions.

Functions whose names begin with "#" do ordinary arithmetic, i.e. arithmetic on numbers rather than dates.


Note that all of Fdate's arithmetic functions operate on integers. A decimal number on an input parameter will be rejected, and an error message will be displayed.
