In this particular case the problem is compounded by an

If it's a known bug, why file another report? :)


As usual, inserting an explicit 'get' command at the point you want
your references resolved takes care of it; e.g. this also works:

(get {year of d, month of d as integer, day of d}) as text
--> "20061020"

I thought Michele said she'd tried that and it didn't work. Maybe left off the parens?

INTERCAL is thataway, you sick, sick person --->

INTERCAL is nifty. I have a patch to the compiler that expands text i/o to support Unicode in a backwards-compatible way, but it seems Eric hasn't done much with it in a while.
