Date Variables in Panels

You can control the formats of displayed dates. For example, you can control whether the date April 22, 2003 appears in English format, as follows:

04/22/03

or European format, as follows:

22/04/03

Two things control the date format: the value of the "European dates" field, which is set in the operation parameters of the System Options Table (SMRT), and the actual variable used to display the date on the panel.

On most panels, you can change the variable to control the format of the date. However, you cannot change the variable in the View facility panels.
