Prime: how to detect date format Message #1 Posted by Giancarlo on 2 Dec 2013, 2:08 a.m. Hello, For a program i am writing on my Prime, i would like to detect which date settings the user selected in order to do some calculations. What i'd like to do is something like this: BEGIN BLABLA(DD, MM, YYYY) Local t; t= HDATE; // THE PARAMETERS READ FROM THE PRIME HDATE:= "DD/MM/YYYY"; // just inventing :+) ... DO_MY_CALCULATIONS...; HDATE:= t; // setting back the date parms END Any idea if the date parameters (flags) can be read somewhere? Thanks Giancarlo From the cappuccino state Edited: 2 Dec 2013, 2:14 a.m.

Re: Prime: how to detect date format Message #2 Posted by Michael de Estrada on 2 Dec 2013, 11:21 a.m., in response to message #1 by Giancarlo Well, the Date variable always returns the date in the format yyyy.mmdd, regardless of how it is shown on page 2 of the Home settings, so you don't need to change anything to do date calculations. Also, if you want to change the date you can type Date:=yyyy.mmdd. Edited: 2 Dec 2013, 12:14 p.m.
