Hi Anthony,

You can put your date prompts in a separate pass in your QUIZ program and write
the dates to a subfile with data dictionary then proceed with the rest of you
processing to create the subfile with NODICTIONARY.  For example:

:quiz

Q U I Z   (PowerHouse  8.19.C3)
Copyright 1998 COGNOS INCORPORATED

> DEFINE START_DATE DATE = PARM
> DEFINE END_DATE   DATE = PARM
> REPORT SUMMARY ALL
> SET SUBFILE NAME DATES
> GO

START_DATE:

END_DATE: 990430

Records selected:  0
Records written:   1

> SET DEFAULT
> CANCEL CLEAR
>
> ACCESS ....  LINK TO RECORD 0 OF *DATES
>
>  ;Enter your program logic here....
>
> SET SUBFILE NAME .... NODICTIONARY

This is a technique I have used successfully for many years.  Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
