Function test()
Local dDatafine:=ctod("14/08/2019")
SET DATE FORMAT "dd/mm/yyyy"
SET DATE ITALIAN
SET CENTURY ON
SET EPOCH TO ( YEAR( DATE() ) - 50 )
? dDatafine
return nil


it return me this


WHY ?

What is strange in it? You look at your own code carefully.

You have used CTOD() before setting DATE FORMAT. Till you set the date format is the default format "mm/dd/yy". 14 as month is invalid.

To avoid such mistakes it is a good idea to use STOD( "20190814" ). This does not depend on date format.
