MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

In the Command window, issue following commands:

   SET DATE to Taiwan
   SET CENTURY OFF
   *** Note : Year 2000 is equivalent to Taiwan Year 0089
   ? {89/01/01}

Place the same setting within a text box of a form and set the "Readonly" property to .F. The result is "0089/01/01."

1. Add a TextBox control within a form.

2. Change the property "Century" of the TextBox to "0 - Off."

3. Change the property "DateFormat" to "8 - Taiwan."

4. Change the "value" of the TextBox to {89/01/01}, which is January 1, 2000, and run the form.

      however, is "89/01/01."
