Char

| valign="top" width="100%" style="width: 400px; border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" |
The character used to separate the day, month and year.

 

Old syntax :  / , - or . (dot).

 

Preferred new syntax : MINUS, SLASH or DOT.

 

Example:

Config Date = DMY, SEPARATOR=MINUS

When you live in Holland you would use :

CONFIG DATE = DMY, separator = MINUS

This would print 24-04-02 for 24 November 2002.

 

When you line in the US, you would use :

CONFIG DATE = MDY , separator = SLASH

This would print 04/24/02 for 24 November 2002.
