Re: Date format standards in XA

[Gernot Langle <glangle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From "Planning and Installing MAPICS XA" Chapter 3:

Setting the date format
The date format on MAPICS XA displays and reports is the same format as 
the one
you specify for the AS/400 system.
The date formats supported by MAPICS XA are:
• MM/DD/YY (month/day/year)
• DD/MM/YY (day/month/year)
• YY/MM/DD (year/month/day)
To change the date format, see the AS/400 Work Management Guide.
