Use dates within an equation field

Hi Bryant,
I wanted to asked about a problem I 'm having with dates. Every time I try to type manually a date withing an equation field, it raise an error "non-matching field type". I was reading in one of your post that withing an ecuation I need to type dates in the format YYYYMMDD but even doing this it doesn't work.
 

Printing Loop

Hello from Germany,
my question, I hope it is in the right Forum here, is as follows:
I have a number of databases that I want to print. I have a script for the first one of them (shown below) and now I want to do a loop, that prints all the data from 1 to 46 without changing the skript for every database.
 
Sub Main
Call PrintDatabase() ´Datei anhängen1.IMD
End Sub
Function PrintDatabase
Set db=Client.OpenDatabase("Dateien anhängen1.IMD")
db.Print
End Function
 
Thanks for your help.
 

Summarizing by date

Hello,
I'm trying to make a summarize to obtain the minimum date of certain groups, but IDEA only allow me to do it by numeric fields. I would like to know is there is a way in wich I can do that. I'm thinking of converting that field to numeric, doing the summaize, and then rollback the convertion, but I'm not sure if there is a function in IDEA for that.

Is it posible to change the execution time for a script?

Hello Everyone,
 
What I'm trying to do is running an IdeaScript wich calls a python program, that program makes a transformation of the data and then create a csv which is taken by IDEA again. But the problem I have is that IDEA execute the script too fast, so the csv is not generated on time to IDEA. That is the reason why I want to delay the time of execution to give python some time to generate the file that IDEA requests.
 

Report Reader and Adobe Pro DC

At my office we recently switched from Adobe 9 (I think) to Adobe Pro DC. We are finding some issues when we now import PDFs into Report Reader. For example Report Reader isn't reading the PDFs as clearly as before. It may turn the number 0 into the letter o. Usually we add a page number to the PDF, so if the Report Reader misses something, we can easily see where the problem is. However, adding the page number now seems to hinder from reading the PDF clearly. We have IDEA version 10. Would version 11 fix this? Or is anyone else running into a similar problem?
