CMC not converting parameter correctly YYYYMM to Real Date Time

Question

I have a paramater in a report that is a string because the value is stored in the database as a string: YYYYMM.
I need to convert this string parameter into a real date time (Assuming the last day of the month)
I've tried this a number of ways which work fine in my desktop Crystal client but CMC changes the values.
For Year I'm using this function:
numbervar DateInput;
numbervar DtYear;
DateInput:= {?p_RevYRMOEndRange};
DtYear:= ToNumber (mid(ToText (DateInput),1,4));
DtYear;
which returns 2010 for example on the desktop, and 201 in infoview/CMC
For the Month my function is:
numbervar DateInput;
stringvar DtMo;
numbervar DtMoNum;
DateInput:= {?p_RevYRMOEndRange};
DtMo:= (Right(ToText (DateInput),2));
DtMoNum:= ToNumber (DtMo);
DtMoNum;
which returns 2 on my desktop and 0 in CMC.
Any ideas on a different way I could do this which might be more reliable in CMC?
Thanks,
John

Answer 1

numbervar DateInput;
numbervar DtYear;
DateInput:= {?p_RevYRMOEndRange};
DtYear:= ToNumber (mid(ToText (DateInput),1,4));
DtYear;
2010 and 201 looks like there is a leading space
try to print
numbervar DateInput;
DateInput:= ">"+{?p_RevYRMOEndRange}+"<";
and then look at trim options
