Purpose

getLocalDateOrder () supplies the date order definition to the generated JAVA application. The date order definition is used only for date and time fields where the model does not specify the edit pattern. In these cases, the JAVA runtime uses this information to build a default edit pattern using the information provided by the getLocalDateOrder (). For example, if the date separator is "-" (a dash) and getLocalDateOrder () specifies the date order as LocaleExit.DATEORDER_YMD or ‘2’, then the default date edit pattern is yy-mm-dd.
