Once you did the -setFormatterBehavior:NSDateFormatterBehavior10_0, setDateFormat: became a no-op. setDateFormat: is a 10.4-behavior formatter method.

Per the doc:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/DataFormatting/Articles/dfDateFormatting10_4.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002369-SW1

The new methods in v10.4 do not do anything when invoked on a v10.0- style formatter, and return a generic return value when required to return something—you should therefore not invoke the new methods on a v10.0-style formatter. On a v10.4-style formatter, the old methods map approximately to one or more new methods or attributes, but you should use the new methods directly when possible.


setDateStyle: and setTimeStyle: are also 10.4-only. The 10.0 - 10.3 formatter basically had about 3 or 4 methods, only.

Folks;

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] ;
[dateFormatter setFormatterBehavior:NSDateFormatterBehavior10_0];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S %z"];
...
NSDate *myDate = [dateFormatter dateFromString:@"06/27/2008 02:51:52 -0500"];

myDate = 06/27/20.

What am I missing here? I expect the full date and time value to be reflected back in myDate...
I use 10_0 because I'm just more familiar..

I've tried adding:
[dateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterLongStyle];
[dateFormatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterFullStyle];

but that doesn't change anything...

Thanks for any help,
Steve
