Using Date-to-String Conversions
If you convert a date variable to a string without specifying an edit mask, SQR applies a date format. The conversion takes place with:
The MOVE command.
The datetostr function.
The DISPLAY, PRINT, or SHOW commands when used to output a date variable.
SQR attempts to apply date formats in this order:
The format specified in SQR_DB_DATE_FORMAT.
The database-dependent format.
