RE: Formatting TimeStamp (Z) fields on PRTFs

Walden,

If those BIFs do not work, then you canfiddle with the %XLATE BIF as well. With 
XLATE you can format a character string any way you like, even with punctuation.

I use it to convert dates like
ABCDEFGH (date1)
EFGH-CD-AB (date2)
Date1:Format1 XLATE Format2    Date2

(I know I could use date fields to do this, but getting it from a numeric field 
on to the screen, this was a little easier to do.) 

Just a thought.

Regards,
Carel Teijgeler
