date() format like "dd/mm/yyyy"? (Solved)

[JC]

Dear Antonio, James, Uwe and friends.

I have a simple doubt about date functions

With twice function bellow, I get the date in format "dd/mm/yy"

Code: Select all  Expand view

? fileDate( "C:\apps\myApp.exe" )
? date()

and my configurations is here:

SET DATE BRITISH
SET CENTURY ON
SET( _SET_EPOCH, 1950 )

How I can get the date in this format "dd/mm/yyyy"??

Hello JC,

Just add the line for the format, You need :

SET DATE FORMAT TO "DD/MM/YYYY"
( SET DATE FORMAT TO "DD.MM.YYYY" )

ddate := CTOD( "29/12/2008" ) // Date()

The following sample works perfectly here:

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include "Fivewin.ch"


FUNCTION MAIN()

    SET CENTURY ON
    SET DATE BRITISH

    ? DATE()

    RETURN NIL
