Dates in dd-mm-yyyy format instead of mm-dd-yyyy
- Article Type: General
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 21
Problem Symptoms:
Despite changing alephcom.ini file to mdy, dates are showing as dmy (day/month/year).
Cause:
Error in aleph_start parameter.
Resolution:
1. If $alephe_root/aleph_start has:
setenv aleph_date_time 2 (European)
change it to:
setenv aleph_date_time 1 (U.S.).
2. Run aleph_shutdown followed by aleph_startup.
Additional Information
If this, by itself, doesn't correct the problem, change the DateDisplayStyle line in the pc's .alephcomtabguisys.ini to:
DateDisplayStyle=16
This is described in KB's 16384-43649 ("How to format the date in Aleph") and 8192-9002 ("Incorrect-Date-Format ").
