Description
The SET DATE command specifies the input and output format for dates. The following summarizes the available date formats.
| Date | Format |
|---|---|
| AMERICAN (or MDY) | mm/dd/yy |
| ANSI | yy.mm.dd |
| BRITISH or FRENCH or (DMY) | dd/mm/yy |
| GERMAN | dd.mm.yy |
| ITALIAN | dd-mm-yy |
| JAPAN or (YMD) | yy/mm/dd |
| LOCALE | Current OS locale (from v6.0.2) |
| USA | mm-dd-yy |
| ISO | yyyy-mm-dd |
If SET CENTURY is ON, then the years will be formatted with four digits, i.e. yyyy. The SET MARK command may be used to specify an alternate character to separate the parts of a date.
Example
