Post question again.

[Jeff2005]

OK I know there is a place in my post to change the format of the date, from dd-mm-yy to mm-dd-yy can anyone help. I did a search on this and came up empty.

 

Thanks, (in advance)

Actually, in your .pst file, look for where it picks up the date currently (probably as a 'pheader' or 'psof'). You should see something like this:

code:

---

"(DATE - ", *day, "-", *smonth, "-", *year, ")", e

---

Just change it to:

 

code:

---

"(DATE - ", *smonth, "-", *day, "-", *year, ")", e

---

Unless your post actually uses "DD-MM-YY". If so, then search your post for the line, and just rearrange it to read "MM-DD-YY".

 

Remember to back up your post before making changes...

 

[Jeff2005]

WILL THERE BE MORE THAN ONE LINE THAT HAS DD-MM-YY. I FOUND ONE LINE THAT HAS IT, WHEN I CHANGED IT LIKE YOU SUGGESTED IT HAD NO EFFECT.

Huh? Can you speak up.

[Psychomill]

Stork!!...

 

Jeff, all caps means your SHOUTING!!

 

Back to your question, There may be a few places where its in your .pst but should only be using one of those lines. Make sure the line you're changing doesn't have a "#" in front of it. The post does not read these lines.

The other possibility is that the "header" switch is turned off and the date and other "stuff" won't show up. For example, in MPMASTER_FADAL:

 

In the "pheader" section:

 

the following code only works if the "IF" statement is in effect:

 

if output_hdr = yes, #Enable / Disable output of Header

n, "(DATE - ", *smonth, "-", *day, "-", *year, ")", e

 

 

output_hdr is found in the beginning in the general output settings and is a "yes" or "no" question.

 

In MPFAN, the date is in the "psof" section, but there is no "switch" to turn it on or off.

 

"(DATE=DD-MM-YY - ", date, " TIME=HH:MM - ", time, ")", e

[Jeff2005]

Sorry about the capital letters, got busy and forgot.

 

 

Gary this MPFAN is what mine looks like,

"(DATE=DD-MM-YY - ", date, " TIME=HH:MM - ", time, ")", e

"DATE=DD-MM-YY -" will show up as it is in the text of your program.

 

Search for ' date ' in your post. Thats the variable its using to set your date.

 

[Psychomill]

Actually just checked something. Date is not post formated. MC will use it to pull a numerical date for it. Not sure where to change that.

 

I would think though that if you had a a "smonth" formated, you could change the output to numerical and/or rearrange the order.
