I had understood "exiting code" as the return value of a procedure, so
I was completely lost as to what was meant. I now understand that
Fernand meant "exiSting" code, where code is not a value (a number /
string), but a piece of program.

On a sidenote,

oDlg.getControl("myDateField").date = CDatetoIso(now())

can be replaced by

oDlg.getControl("myDateField").date = CDateToUnoDate(now())
