Hi:

I'm a rookie and need some help..

In an attempt to begin some backtesting on some scans, I'm trying to determine what relative day number a certain date is using the following:

Output="Dater.lst";

DaysToLoad = 250;

integer intdays;

string strTarget;

strTarget:= "03/24/1998";

for intdays = -250 to 0 step 1 do
if date(intdays) = strTarget then
println "Date:",date(intdays):11, " = ", intdays;
intdays = -250;
endif;
next intdays;

When I run it I get an error just before the "Then" in the If statement: "Comparison undefined".

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any and all help!
