Date translation generation is useful when you use World Writer to print date information from the database.
With Date Translation Generation (P00365) you create a file that contains different date formats. These formats are derived from the Julian date used by the system. For example, when you run a date translation generation, a system date of 010131 appears in the following formats:
| Date | Format |
|---|---|
| Month | 01 |
| Day | 31 |
| Year | 01 |
| Century | 20 |
| System Date | 01/31/01 |
| Month Name | January |
| Date Text | January 31, 2001 |
