RE: Mapics in European Format

You may also want to look at the LDA data area.  This is setup for each
user when Mapics starts and I believe it has the date format loaded to
some byte.  Check the Cross App Technical manual for the LDA and where
the byte is.  Experiment carefully.

  MAPICS uses its own date format (in SYSCTL) which you need to also
change.
