Description
The DTOC() function converts the date expression <expD> or date part of the datetime expression <expT> to a character string in the format of the current SET DATE, SET MARK and SET CENTURY settings. For example, the default settings, SET DATE AMERICAN, and SET CENTURY ON, will return a date in the format "MM/DD/YYYY".
If the optional 1 is specified, the date will be returned in DTOS() format, suitable for index key purposes.
Example
? dtoc({02/29/2004}) 02/29/2004 ? dtoc({02/29/2004 10:34:21 A.M.}) 02/29/2004 ? dtoc({02/29/2004},1) 20040229 store dtoc({02/29/2004}) to m_date ? m_date 02/29/2004 ? type("m_date") C
