If one tries to import dbf with spaces in data field, then gnumeric
generate warnings.

Comment 2 Andreas J. Guelzow 2001-12-13 15:27:43 UTC 
Shouldn't you initialize month and day to some default value just in
case sscanf only sets the year (and returns 1)?
Comment 3 Jody Goldberg 2001-12-24 08:08:48 UTC 
I do no see what this patch has to do with spaces in data fields.  Date fields
have a specific required format.
    YYYYMMDD
I'll check that sscanf == 3, but > 0 does not seem useful.

Can I see a test case for what you're trying to fix ?
Comment 4 Andreas J. Guelzow 2001-12-24 18:38:41 UTC 
Of course the unpatched version is really bad since it even accept EOF
as a valid return from sscanf.
Comment 5 Jody Goldberg 2002-01-07 15:17:18 UTC 
This was patched a while ago.
