PH 8.19c2 Field Duplicate in Quick

[John MacLerran]

Hi Everyone,

I'm having a problem with field duplicating in quick (HP3000, v
8.19c2).  I have a screen with the following:

FILE TIME-SHEET PRIMARY OCCURS 8
  ACCESS VIA EMP-ID      REQUEST EMP-ID OF TIME-SHEET
  ACCESS VIA PROJECT-NBR REQUEST PROJECT-NBR OF TIME-SHEET

<snip>
CLUSTER OCCURS WITH TIME-SHEET
;
FIELD PROJECT-NBR OF TIME-SHEET REQ &
      LOOKUP ON PROJECT MESSAGE "This project number does not exist"
FIELD JOB-CODE    OF TIME-SHEET DEF 'O' DUP
FIELD DATE-T      OF TIME-SHEET &
          default SYSDATE     &
          duplicate           &
          format MMDDYY separator '/' &
          allow century
CLUSTER
<snip>

The Job-Code field is correctly duplicating from one occurrence of the
cluster to the next, but the field DATE-T is not. If I enter 030999 for
a date, the screen accepts it and formats it as "03/03/99", which is
correct. On the next occurrence, if I press return to accept the
duplicate process, I get an error that the field must be a date. I can't
even type in the underscore ('_') to force duplication.  There are no
user-defined procedures associated with either of the fields.

Now for the _really_ wierd part. If I type in the date with slashes
(03/09/99), the screen accepts it, and on the next occurrence, I don't
get the error that the field must be a date, but the value that is
inserted into the field by Quick is 03/09/91!

Can anyone tell me why this is happening, and what to do to correct it?
Or, has anyone heard of this being a problem with 8.19c2? If I need to
request 8.19c4, I will, but I'd like to know if this is a known issue
and if it's fixed in c4.

Thanks!
