Good catch.  I changed my IPLINFO exec years ago to use the ISO 8601
standard for all dates in the various displays. But it can be changed to US or
EU format easily by changing one line of code near the front of the exec.

/*********************************************************************/ 
DATEFMT = 'ISO'          /* ISO 8601 format YYYY-MM-DD (new default) */ 
/* DATEFMT = 'USA' */    /* USA format MM/DD/YYYY (original format)  */ 
/* DATEFMT = 'EUR' */    /* EUR format DD/MM/YYYY                    */ 
/*********************************************************************/
