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 |
