Description
The VTOD() function converts VAXdates to Recital dates so that date arithmetic can be performed. The resulting date conforms to the current settings of SET DATE, SET CENTURY and SET MARK. <expC> must be an 11 character string containing a VAXdate in the format DAY-MONTH-YEAR. SET VAXTIME must be off, so that no time-string is included.
Example
