 Hoefully, the following may be helpful...


 AR> 1. What is the equivalent of dFLOAT,dEDIT,dDATE for ordinary
 AR> INTEGERS ? 
 
You have to convert them first, ie:

A$=GEN(integer,10)
DINIT
DEDIT"","Edit:",A$
DIALOG
integer=VAL(A$)

 
 AR> 2. Using dDATE returns a long integer representing days since
 AR> 1/1/1990 How can you do the opposite,and display the number in
 AR> date format on an ordinary screen.

If you were to store the long integer to a variable called A&,
which you add to yuor Local/Global statement

LOCAL A&,A%,D%,M%,Y%

Eg:    DDATE A&,"Input Date:","01/01/00","31,12,93"


Then to get it back, try...

SECSTODATE (A&-25567)*86400,Y%,M%,D%,A%,A%.A%,A%
PRINT D%;"/";M%;"/";Y%-1900
GET

Please leave me a message if any of this is unclear!

Good luck,


Pete
