You can clearly see the date format changing to MM/DD/YY...

Is it not what you are looking for ?? what do you mean by same as b4 ?

I think the format of your flat file is different than what you have posted if it is not working....

lb_unregister(3ncs)													       lb_unregister(3ncs)

Name
       lb_unregister - remove an entry from the Location Broker database

Syntax
       #include <idl/c/lb.h>

       void lb_$unregister(entry, status)
       lb_$entry_t *entry;
       status_$t *status;

Arguments
       entry  The entry being removed from the Location Broker database.

       status The completion status.  If the completion status returned in is equal to status_$ok , then the routine that supplied it was success-
	      ful.

Description
       The routine removes from the Location Broker database the entry that matches entry.  The  value	of  entry  should  be  identical  to  that
       returned  by  the routine when the database entry was created.  However, does not compare all of the fields in entry, the annotation field,
       and the port number in the saddr field.

       This routine removes the entry from the LLB database on the local host (the host that issues the routine).  If the flags field of entry	is
       equal  to  0,  it  removes  the entry from the GLB database.  If the flags field is equal to lb_$server_flag_local, it deletes only the LLB
       entry.

Examples
       The following statement unregisters the entry specified by which was obtained from a previous routine:
       lb_$unregister (&BankEntry, &status);

Diagnostics
       This section lists status codes for errors returned by this routine in

       lb_$database_invalid
			   The format of the Location Broker database is out of date.  The database may have been created by an old version of the
			   Location  Broker;  in this case, delete the out-of-date database and reregister any entries that it contained.  The LLB
			   or GLB that was accessed may be running out-of-date software; in this case, update all Location Brokers to the  current
			   software version.

       lb_$database_busy   The Location Broker database is currently in use in an incompatible manner.

       lb_$not_registered  The	Location  Broker  does	not  have  any	entries  that match the criteria specified in the unregister routine.  The
			   requested object, type, interface, or combination thereof is not registered in the specified database.

       lb_$update_failed   The Location Broker was unable to register or unregister the entry.

       lb_$cant_access	   The Location Broker cannot access the database.  Among the possible reasons:

			   1. The database does not exist.

			   2. The database exists, but the Location Broker cannot access it.

       lb_$server_unavailable
			   The Location Broker Client Agent cannot reach the requested GLB or LLB.  A communications failure occurred or the  bro-
			   ker was not running.
