Subject: dbh->newdate function
Date: Feb 8 1996 5:31PM

Hello,

  I am trying to use a call that I saw at the Sybperl website...

$date = $dbh->newdate('Jan 1 1995');

but I get the error message:

Can't locate auto/Sybase/DBlib/newdate.al in @INC at imagedb line 20

I am using perl 5.001. I am not sure what version of Sybperl that I have.

I have a number of other sybperl scripts working fine... do I need to "use"
another library to have this function available?

Also,
  any pointers to maniuplating datetime fields in SYBASE from within perl
would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Kevin
