It does not say that leading zero's are not allowed.</p> <p>Behold reads both and allows 03 and does not give any message for it. But it does convert the 03 to a 3 internally and always display it without the leading zero. When GEDCOM export is added, it will export it without the leading zero.</p> <p>Louis </p> Questions and Answers http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/topic.php?id=137#post-408 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 10:24:45 GMT brett 408@http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/ <p>Louis</p> <p>Another date query.</p> <p>What is your (and therefore probably Behold's) interpetation of the following date:</p> <p>03 Mar 2012</p> <p>Is it valid or invalid GEDCOM 5.5.1 if it has the leading zero?</p> <p>Brett </p> Questions and Answers
