PK99641: RequisiteWeb Date Hardcoded to US format

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Currently the date format for all ReqPro projects is hardcoded t
  o
  country code ISO 3166 (Country US) standards in the config.txt f
  ile.
  The US format - example 09/11/10 - is not acceptable.  We must h
  ave a
  format like 26 Oct 09. We do not mind having this format hardcod
  ed for
  all Requisite Pro projects.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Currently the date format for all ReqPro projects is
  hardcoded to
  country code ISO 3166 (Country US) standards in the
  config.txt file.
  The US format - example 09/11/10 - is not acceptable.  We
  must have a
  format like 26/10/2009.
  
  We consider this as defect while dates are not identical as
  date on thick client
  
  Also from our information the date format should match the
  settings define in Config.txt under C:\Program
  Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\profiles\profile2\installedApps\Defau
  ltNode\ReqWeb.ear\ReqWeb.war\WEB-INF\classes
  but these settings are apparently not readed
  
  steps to reproduce
  
  1) test in thick client:
       a- open traditional
  sample case
       b- open a
  requirement properties
       c- check the
  revision date -? date= system date
  2) proceed the same on requisiteweb
            date = US format even
  if Country has been changed
            On requisiteweb you
  can even see the last saved date been US format even when
  config.txt has been saved to Fr as language and FR as
  Country for example
  

Problem conclusion

• Date format hardcoded to US format by default, so ReqWeb
  will show in the Revision Date always this format date.
