Prime: how to detect date format - giancarlo - 12-02-2013
Hello,
For a program i am writing on my Prime, i would like to detect which date settings the user selected in order to do some calculations.
What i'd like to do is something like this:
BEGIN BLABLA(DD, MM, YYYY)
Local t;
t= HDATE; // THE PARAMETERS READ FROM THE PRIME
HDATE:= "DD/MM/YYYY"; // just inventing :+)
... DO_MY_CALCULATIONS...;
HDATE:= t; // setting back the date parms
END
Any idea if the date parameters (flags) can be read somewhere?
Thanks
Giancarlo

Well, the Date variable always returns the date in the format yyyy.mmdd, regardless of how it is shown on page 2 of the Home settings, so you don't need to change anything to do date calculations. Also, if you want to change the date you can type Date:=yyyy.mmdd.
