Pierre,

Perhaps you are confronted to a glitch that was left in a previous
release: the LongDateRec record was declared with the era field
remed out in the header file.
You can have a look at the Appearance folder inside the donations
folder and read the Integrated Appearance doc for the different
kinds of controls.
I believe the info can be retrieved like so (provided the
LongDateRec record is correctly defined):

dim   dateResult as LongDateRec
dim @ actualSize as long
long if fn
GetControlData(CtrlHndl,0,_kControlClockLongDateTag,sizeof(LongDateRec),dateResult,actualSize)
= _noErr
print dateResult.era        
print dateResult.year       
print dateResult.month      
print dateResult.day        
print dateResult.hour       
print dateResult.minute     
print dateResult.second     
print dateResult.dayOfWeek  
print dateResult.dayOfYear  
print dateResult.weekOfYear 
end if
-- 

Cheers

Alain
