Fall 2025: New date formats for conversions: *DMYY, *MDYY, and *YYMD

These new formats are similar to the existing formats *EUR, *USA, *ISO, and *JIS but these formats support more separators. These new formats support the same separators as *DMY, *MDY, and *YMD.

These new formats can't be used for defining date variables, but they can be used in these operations:

  • %CHAR(date : *MDYY)
  • %DEC(date : *DMYY)
  • %DATE(string : *YMDD)
  • %DATE(num : *MDYY)
  • MOVE and MOVEL
  • TEST(D)
