Unable to save a specific date into a date (float %d) variable:

[Vivek Astvansh]

Hello, Helpers.

I am failing to store a date into a date (float %d) variable. Details below:

>replace confirm_d=date("12/04/2002","MDY") if casenum=="01-39371"

(0 real changes made)

>desc confirm_d

float %d

> desc casenum

str8 %9s

Can anyone please guide me on what is wrong in the replace statement?

Thank you.

check your 'if' condition. It is not even trying to update any values. This suggests that your if condition is never true.

 The message you get "0 real changes made" suggest that  there is no casenum with the value 01-39371.
