If you enter data into a text field in the Campaign Reference Data
screen of the SAS Campaign Management component, the date 31-Dec-1899
may display instead of the text value. This problem occurs when you
perform the following steps:

  1. Create two communication templates using the Campaign Management
     Admin component.  Include a shadow field in the first template
     (Template 1) defined with a type of 'Date'.  In the second template
     (Template 2), create a shadow field in the same relative position
     as the date field in the first template, defined with a type of
     'Calculation', a Max Length of 1, and a Value of 1.  For example,
     if the date field in the first template is the 8th field, then the
     Calculation field in the second template will also be the 8th field
     in the template.

  2. In the Campaign Reference Data window of the Campaign Management
     component, create a new Campaign and select Template 1. Then
     immediately click the New button in the toolbar and select Template
     2.

  3. The text field in this screen now displays the date value
     31-Dec-1899 instead of the value 1.
