Working with dates

Seems that sesame will not report the 'number of days' properly. This command from the manual give the results: "0011/10/23"

WriteLN(@Date - @D("January 1, 2000"))

Any thoughts?

The example in the manual must be assuming that "DaysSinceY2K" is set to a Double type variable or Number type element.

Try converting the result to a number like this:
WriteLn( @TN(@Date - @D("January 1, 2000")) )

This will give you a result of 3948 (when run today 10/23/2010).
