Hi Subasha,
/ : SET DATE MASK = 'MMMM DD, YY'
This displays the date as : September 26, 07.
YY Year (2 digits)
YYYY Year (4 Digits)
MM Month (2 Digits)
MMM Month Name (Abbreviated)
MMMM Month Name (Full)
DD Day as two digits
DDD Day name (Abbreviated)
DDDD Day name
Using the SET DATE MASK causes the subsequent date fields to be displayed using the same formatting. To return to the default formatting use the following command:
/: SET DATE MASK = ' '
/: SET TIME MASK = 'HH hrs MM min SS sec'
This displays the time as : 11 hrs 43 min 37 sec'
The following are the codes that can be used in the time mask:
HH Hours
MM Minutes
SS Seconds
The time formatting can be reset to the default setting using:
/: SET TIME MASK = ' '
