? RETFLOAT({2/16/95})  && returns float representation of date {2/16/95}

C Code

#include <pro_ext.h>

FAR Example(ParamBlk FAR *parm)
{
   _RetFloat(parm->p[0].val.ev_real, 20, 4);
}

FoxInfo myFoxInfo[] = {
   {"RETFLOAT", (FPFI) Example, 1, "D"},
};
FoxTable _FoxTable = {
   (FoxTable FAR *) 0, sizeof(myFoxInfo)/sizeof(FoxInfo), myFoxInfo
};
