Hi Neil,

this is probably a _very_ poor hack, but if it helps, well and good!

i expect others will reply with more style ;-)

anyway, this works for me:

<dtml-in get_dates>
<li><dtml-with dateOfBirth><dtml-var expr="'%s-%s' % (dd(), mm())">
</dtml-with>
</dtml-in>

HTH,

Garry

PS: i'm in BXL too!
