I may have just reinvented the wheel, but I don't
think so. I have just finished a function that will
format fileman dates in any arbitrary way, based on
format strings. For example:
w $$DTFormat(FMDate,"mm/dd/yy") --> 10/13/79
w $$DTFormat(FMDate,"mm/dd/yyyy") --> 10/13/1979
w $$DTFormat(FMDate,"mmm dd,yyyy") --> Oct 13,1979
w $$DTFormat(FMDate,"mmmm dd,yyyy") --> October
13,1979
w $$DTFormat(FMDate,"mmmm dd,yyyy 'at exactly' HH:MM
#") --> October 13,1979 at exactly 2:15 pm
The format string allows any mix and match order. It
has appropriate codes for formatting 24 vs 12 hr
clock. Month numbers, short-names, or long names.
Year in 2 or 4 digits. Numbers with or with-out a
leading 0.
This function is based roughly on the way that Delphi
handles datetime formatting.
If anyone wants a copy of the function let me know. I
just tried to post it on the wikki, and apparently the
Sourceforge host is down for the moment.
