Yup, although I don't see that as a big problem. Here's a function I use
for writing dates to files for Excel. Excel can't recognize yymmdd as a
date so this outputs mm/dd/yy. With a little modification this could
figure out if the year is 19xx or 20xx and output mm/dd/yyyy.
{
Function: dh_mo_da_yr
returns a string in the form mm/dd/yy
}
dh_mo_da_yr =
numtostr(month(date),0) + "/" +
numtostr(dayofmonth(date),0) + "/" +
numtostr(year(date),0);
