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 |
| FORMAT <cISOlocale> | Specified ISO locale code (from v6.0.2) |
| GERMAN | dd.mm.yy |
| ISO | yyyy-mm-dd |
| ITALIAN | dd-mm-yy |
| JAPAN or (YMD) | yy/mm/dd |
| LOCALE | Current OS locale (from v6.0.2) |
| LONG | Long date format (from v9.2.6) |
| SHORT | Short date format (from v9.2.6) |
| USA | mm-dd-yy |
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
set date german use patrons index dates seek ctod("01.01.98") set century on seek ctod("01.01.1998") set date format "en_GB" set date locale
