Non-Gregorian date

Rattlesnake
in Calculation Engine (Define Fields)

Featured Replies

hi,

I'm using Filemaker pro 5.5

I wanted to define field that would accept a non-gregorian date (its Arabic Hijri date). I have set the date on my system as the hijri date , but I still cant make filemaker's STATUS(CURRENTDATE) function to return the date in hijri . it returns it in Gregorian format. I need to do some calculaiotns using these dates.

Is there a way of making filemaker use non-gregorian date or does it support only gregorian dates?

Thanks

Filemaker always uses gregorian. You could get around this as long as all your dates fall within a single century. But, if not you will have to make up your own date formulae.
