Hello Jarbas,

your old code:

INCLUIR .QBE
* dBASE Windows arquivo .QBE 9
CLOSE DATABASES
SET EXACT ON
SET DELETED ON
SELECT 1
USE C:\VISUALDB\CAIXA\CONTAPAG.DBF ORDER TAG NOME
SET FILTER TO VENC<=DATE() .AND. EMPTY(PGTO)

New code:
dDate = {09/09/98}

SELECT COD,NF, DV, NN, VALOR, VENC, VERIF, NOME, REL, PGTO, BANCO
FROM contabag ORDER BY nome
WHERE venc<=:dDate  AND PGTO = ""
BROWSE
