[Gambas-user] problem with the CDate function

[Gianluigi]

It works correctly to me:
Date() Is < Or = str_date
07/05/2018 00:00:00
07/05/2018 00:00:00
It could be a version problem.

>> 05/07/2018 00:00:00
>> 05/06/2018 00:00:00

>>
>> it seems strange that the current date today is:

>> Day: 07
>> Year: 2018

>> Then the value of str_date should equal the value of Date ()

>> What should I fix in the code to make it good
