You can change it in User Profiles but a recommended way is using Edit mask.

check the fun module

ABI_TIMESTAMP_CONVERT_FROM

or you can offset the Field into YEAR,DATE and MOnth separately and concatenate them

Hi Frank,

U can use write statement for this :

Write date into date1 yyyymmdd.

Same u can write for time also.
