Data conversion problems

[COLIN GLASS]

Using QTP 7.09 on the HP3000 using a TurboImage database, I am having
trouble with data conversion errors.  I have found that the data conversion
errors occur in my select statement, but don't understand why and don't
know how to resolve it.  Here is the portion of the program I'm having
trouble with:

TEMP   T-TRANS-DTE ZONED SIZE 8
  ITEM T-TRANS-DTE           = TRANS-DTE OF R-ADJ-DTLS          &
                 IF 8 = SIZE(ASCII(TRANS-DTE OF R-ADJ-DTLS))    &
               ELSE ADDCENTURY(TRANS-DTE OF R-ADJ-DTLS,20)      &
                 IF TRANS-DTE OF R-ADJ-DTLS < 500000            &
               ELSE ADDCENTURY(TRANS-DTE OF R-ADJ-DTLS,19)

TEMP   T-DTE-MONTH ZONED SIZE 8
  ITEM T-DTE-MONTH    = DTE-MONTHLY OF S-DATE-CTRL      &
                 IF 8 = SIZE(ASCII(DTE-MONTHLY OF S-DATE-CTRL)) &
       ELSE ADDCENTURY(DTE-MONTHLY OF S-DATE-CTRL,20) &
                 IF DTE-MONTHLY OF S-DATE-CTRL < 500000         &
               ELSE ADDCENTURY(DTE-MONTHLY OF S-DATE-CTRL,19)

SELECT IF T-TRANS-DTE GE T-DTE-MONTH


TRANS-DTE is defined in the dictionary as a date with century excluded and
DTE-MONTHLY is defined as a numeric 6.

Can anyone give me some help please?

Thanks
