Dear Ahamed, Perhaps following will help you a lot in this regard: Date2Str Syntax str Date2Str (date date,int sequence,int day,int separator1,int month,int separator2,int year)
Description Converts the date specified by date to a text string. The sequence of day, month, and year in the text string is specified by sequence , and the formats for day, month, and year are specified by day, month, and year, respectively. The characters that are to be used as separators in the text string are specified by separator1 (first separator) and separator2 (second separator). Examples In all examples, the variable date contains the date 23/02/98. Date2Str(date,123,2,2,2,2,2) returns the text string "23.02.98". Date2Str(date,321,1,4,4,4,4) returns the text string "1998/February/23". Date2Str(date,312,2,1,3,1,4) returns the text string "1988 23 Feb". Notes The possible values for sequence are:(day is shown by 1, month by 2, and year by 3) : day, month, year : year, month, day : year, day, month. The possible format values for day are: : day can be expressed as 1 or 2 digits, as required : day is always expressed as 2 digits. The possible values for separator1 are: : a ' ' (space) is used as separator : a '.' (point) is used as separator : a '-' (hyphen) is used separator : a '/' (slash) is used as separator. The possible format values for month are: : month can be expressed as 1or 2 digits, as required : month is expressed as 2 digits : month is expressed as 3 characters : month is expressed by its entire name. The possible values for separator2 are: : a ' ' (space) is used as separator : a '.' (point) is used as separator : a '-' (hyphen) is used separator : a '/' (slash) is used as separator. The possible format values for year are: : year is expressed as 2 digits : year is expressed as 4 digits. MorphX allocates valid values to the formatting parameters, if the specified values are not valid. Tip: To use the formatting the user has specified in Regional Settings, use strFmt or date2Str with -1 in all the formatting parameters. When you let the Regional Settings dictate the format, be aware that it can change from user to user, and by such it might not be a suitable format for external communication. This help you can also find in the AOT --> Systems documentation --> functions --> Date2Str (function) In case you need help, you may feel free to contact.
