Export problem with date format

Postby fmmaley » Sat Oct 25, 2008 12:28 pm

I am migrating my data from PocketMoney on the Palm to PocketMoney on the iPhone. My problem was that on import to the iPhone, all transactions showed up with a date of 12/31/69. This was undoubtedly related to the fact that on the Palm, my default date format is yyyy/mm/dd. However, changing the default back to mm/dd/yyyy (in the Palm Preferences) and re-exporting gave the same result.

I looked at the exported (i.e., uploaded) PocketMoney.qif file and sure enough, the date lines were in the wrong format. I worked around the problem by writing a little script to fix the QIF file. Then the import to the iPhone worked OK. (There is still a stray transaction that shows up, for some reason, as a separate account, but that's probably a different issue.)

My PocketMoney conduit is pretty old, so maybe this date format bug has been fixed.
