PowerBuilder Date Issues and how to handle dates correctly

So What's Wrong With 5.0.0.3?

Notes on Tracer2000

The latest on date issues-

Persistent PowerBuilder Bug:

The PowerBuilder compiler in all versions(including the latest 6.5) does not validate date constants correctly. For example -

my_date = 2001-02-29

This line of code will compile successfully without any errors from the compiler inspite of an invalid date value. Sybase is aware of this issue(169310).
