Can anyone explain how to set the default date format in Baan ERP (5.0b)?
It is set now to DDMMYYYY and I like it changed to MMDDYYYY. I tried to change it with the language (ttaad1510m000), but this only changes the format in the bottom of the Menu browser.

Thanks for your help,
Peter Oomens

Go to...

Tools
Application Development
Master Data > Maintenance
Maintain Date Formats

Here you can setup your date format.

Thank you, I found that one, but it is still not clear to me:

- Although various options can be set or unset here, it is not possible (i.e. I do not see how) to change the order of Day and Month (DDMMYYYY -> MMDDYYYY)

- Where can I specify to use a specific format. Moreover, I'd like to set the specified format throughout the application (i.e. for each and every date field in Baan).

if you look at the form or reports, you would see that dates with tidate domain or tcdate domain have the format %D002 or %D001.
These were formatted as shown on Maintain Date Formats. You can actually change this by whatever format you wish. You need to convert to runtime and this will create a new datecurr file.

Peter,

Try the convert to runtime. If you check the nlapp013 you can see there that changing the format in the languages work.

Can you please change it on that system back to the normal format?

See you in PPD.
