The date subfunction of StrFormat is rather old. It has been intruduced with WinBuilder version 048.

It still works well. But recently there are some complains that it does not work.
Therefore this small tutorial.

The command is StrFormat,DATE,%var%[,<format>]
The optional <format> string defines how the date is displayed.
Below there is a list, how <format> can be composed.

IMPORTANT: if <format> contains spaces, it MUST be enclosed in quotes!

'TimeStamp': You can use <Format> yyyymmddhhnnsszzz. That will generate something like '20081219122430145'

Remark: I just changed to 'optional' in WB beta 5 J. If ',<format>' is not present, the local standard date is displayed.
e.g. USA: 12/19/2008
Germany: 19.12.2008

Sorry about the bad view!
