Error while calculating date 02/29/20 using DMY2Date on a leap year

Hello folks,

We have some transactions made on 02/29/20. Today (03/02/20), end user is getting below error when running February transactions.

"The value of DMY2Date parameter 1 is outside of the permitted range. The current value is 29. The permitted range is :from 1 to 28.

How or where can I chance the number of dates for February?

Thank you.

I have the same question (0)

    This is indeed strange. Just tested the example provided with

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-nav/dmy2date-function--date-

    This is working like a charm. 

    I think that you should check with debugger the code where this is coming from and test out with the simple prototype

    ...

    Day := 29;
    month := 2;
    year := 2020;
    outputdate := DMY2DATE(Day, month, year);
    MESSAGE(Text1000, Day, month, year, outputdate);

    ...

    If this does not work either then the best bet are:

    1. Outdated platform number for your NAV 2017 version. Test using the latest platform file.

    2. Year that you pass by is not 2020 but something else

    3. Worth checking if you pass 2020 or 1920 or whatever else. Debugger never lies.
