to-date

Stupid question, maybe:
Are there any circumstances where to-date would return a string?? Because
that's what's happening in my code and I can't figure out why
info/date <------- string version of the date
print type? to-date info/date <---------- returns string!

Sounds strange.
One possibility ..... Could you have redefined to-date ?
from-date: "last tuesday"
to-date: "tomorrow"
print type? to-date info/date
==string
[value of info/date]
You can check with
source to-date

Hi Matt,
MM> Are there any circumstances where to-date would return a string??
I've never seen that happen. In addition to what Sunanda said, try
using "to date!" in place of "to-date" and see what you get.

I haven't come across that.
How is info built ?
