Hello All,
I have some tables that I am exporting to text files. One of the fields in my tables is the Effective Date which is type: "Date". I used to use MI-Pro v4.1.2. When I exported my tables to text files, the date was displayed in the text file like this:
01/10/2001 (MM/DD/YYYY)
However, now I am using MI-Pro v.6 and the date in the text file is now being displayed like this:
20010110 (YYYYMMDD)
I have been reading through the manual and fiddling with MapInfo, but I can't find any kind of preference or option or setting that will change the way the date is exported. Is this a bug, or is this some kind of weird new date exporting standard?
I just tested it this morning using different dates from 1998 thru 2001. MI-Pro v.4.1.2 exported all dates to the correct setting of MM/DD/YYYY. MI-Pro v.6 exported all dates to the weird setting of YYYYDDMM with no "/"'s for all years including 1998 & 1999. (both programs are on different computers, btw)
What's going on?!
