Date Tokens

A DataFlex date token is represented by a sequence of numbers and separators that depict the day, month, and year of a specific date. The ordering of the day, month, and year digits, as well as the type of separator used, is configurable and transparent.

By default, DataFlex represents dates in the following format: mm/dd/yyyy, where: - mm represents the month (1-12) - dd represents the day (1-31 or whatever the maximum day is for a given month) - yyyy represents the year (0001 - 2500)

DataFlex can be configured to use European dates in the format dd/mm/yyyy or military dates in the format yyyy.mm.dd.
