Normally, the system expects the archive RUNDATE field to be stored in YYYYMMDD format because this is the only format which can be sorted. Using the AFEArchiveDisplay control group, you can tell the system that you want to display the run date in a different format. The default display format is MM/DD/YYYY.
Behind the scenes, the system converts the date back to the YYYYMMDD format before it searches the archive index.
The Trn_Fields control group defines the components of the Header extract record of a transaction for Documaker. You can use this control group to convert a date into the standard format. For instance, in the Trn_Fields control group in the FSISYS.INI file, define the field as shown here:
FIELD = OFFSET,LENGTH,KEY;SOURCE DATE;DESTINATION DATE
< Trn_Fields >
Date = 19,11,N;DM-4;D4
This example is converts an extract date in the format DD-Mon-YY to YYYYMMDD. DD-Mon-YY (17-Feb-11) is format M-4 and YYYYMMDD (20110217) is format D4.
