FT_STOD()
 Convert a date string to a Clipper date data type

 Syntax

      FT_STOD( <cDateStr> ) -> dDateType

 Arguments

     <cDateStr> is a Clipper string in the format "CCYYMMDD".

 Returns

     A Clipper date type.

 Description

     This function allows the programmer to hard code a date into the
     program without knowing what the current date type is.  This
     function is the converse of the Clipper DTOS() function.

 Examples

     dMyDate := FT_STOD( "19901127" )
