working with dates in Clipper 1

[rebeccaj]

Basic question: how do I store an empty date to a memory variable in Clipper?

If I append a record to a table and then store the empty date field to the memory variable, I get the results I want. How can I do it without using a table?

In FoxPro I would say:
dDate = {}

If anybody can let me know the appropriate syntax in Clipper, I would be eternally grateful!

try this ...
tmpdate := CTOD('')

or

tmpDate := CTOD(' / / ')

That worked - thank you very much!
