| Keywords | @DATE.FORMAT |
| Text | Our non American readers might be interested to know that D2/ does not always have to produce a date in the format MM/DD/YY The undocumented @variable @DATE FORMAT can be used to alter the way in which all dates are converted To use set @DATE FORMAT to the modifier required and this modifier will subsequently be tagged to the end of all date CONVERSIONS Thus SETTING @DATE FORMAT to 'E' and printing the date D2/ would give a date in the format DD/MM/YY This seems to work for all letters e g H J etc (Volume 1 Issue 9 Page 3) |
