Uses SET DATE FORMAT
|
|
Uses SET CENTURY

|
|
|
The following functions mean something :
|
|
@E Use British date format
|
|
/* QUESTION :
|
|
Clipper appears to reverse the MM and DD parts of the
|
|
date, regardless of SET DATE FORMAT, because if the
|
|
date format is British, using @E displays the date in
|
|
American. Harbour always treats @E as British.
|
|
|
|
So is Harbour's behaviour a bug fix or a bug?
