Date Formats |
|
The date format assigned to system variable SF_DATE_FORMAT may consist of either one, two or three of the following elements separated by either one or two identical punctuation characters which will be taken as delimiters. Only a single element of each group may be included. Letters may be in upper or lower case:
Day Elements:
| D | One- or two- digit day value |
| DD | Two-digit day value with leading zero if needed |
Month Elements:
| M | One- or two- digit month value |
| MM | Two-digit month value with leading zero if needed |
Year Elements:
| YY | Two-digit year. Values less than 10 will have a leading zero. |
| YYYY | Four-digit year value |
If the date format is invalid or empty, the Windows 'short date format' will be used. If you supply an invalid format, the SF_DATE_FORMAT variable will be set to an empty value instead of the incorrect format you assigned.
