The RPTDATE environment variable specifies the input order for dates in ReportWriter. Setting RPTDATE affects the default date order that is used when dates are entered into ReportWriter input fields. Because it changes the UI Toolkit global variable g_date_order, it affects your application if you are using the ReportWriter’s external subroutine interface.
Value
One of the following input orders for date fields:
1 = DDMMYY
2 = YYMMDD
Discussion
If RPTDATE is not set, the default input order for dates is MMDDYY.
|
If you are accessing ReportWriter from your application by external subroutine interface, using RPTDAT can affect the value of g_date_order in your application. |
Setting location
The environment. On Windows, this environment variable can also be set in the [synergy], [dbr], or [myprog] section of synergy.ini (where myprog is any .dbr file).
Used by
ReportWriter
Examples
On OpenVMS,
$ DEFINE RPTDATE 2
