Hi Shanthi,

Use the following:

/: SET DATE MASK = 'date_mask'

In the date mask, you can use the following codes:

u2022 DD: day (two digits)

u2022 DDD: day name - abbreviated

u2022 DDDD: day name - written out in full

u2022 MM: month (two digits)

u2022 MMM: month name - abbreviated

u2022 MMMM: month name - written out in full

u2022 YY: year (two digits)

u2022 YYYY: year (four digits)

u2022 LD: day (formatted as for the L option)

u2022 LM: month (formatted as for the L option)

u2022 LY: year (formatted as for the L option)

All other characters found in a date mask are interpreted as simple text and are copied straight into the output.

Assuming the current system date is March 1st, 1997.

/: SET DATE MASK = 'Foster City, MM/DD/YY'

&DATE& -> Foster City, 03/01/97

/: SET DATE MASK = 'MMMM DD, YYYY'

&DATE& -> March 01, 1997

The date mask may be reset to the default setting by using an empty string:

/: SET DATE MASK = ' '

Hope this will help.

Regards,

Nitin.
