as far as i can see to do the task.
i must import isc_decode_date/isc_encode_date from fbclient library

however as soon as i call a function that connects to these methods the connection crashes.

also a major hurdle is no real way of debugging the dll as to why
it would cause the firebird connection to abort.

Kind Regards,

Robert.

really what i need is a failsafe way of writing these functions


procedure fbdatetopascaldate( VAR ISCQUAD; VAR TDATETIME );
procedure pascaldatetofbfate( VAR PISCQUAD; VAR TDATETIME );


Kind Regards,

Robert.
