Origin Version 7.0 SR4:
Win XP SR2
Hello,
on my office PC (and only there) a LabTalk call to date() only succeeds to give correct Julian dates when called with the MM/DD/YYYY format.
If using a custom time format (defined as dd'.'MM'.'yyyy in the Tools->Options-Miscellaneous menue) in the call to
date(DD.MM.YYYY)
then interpretes that string as months=DD and days=MM, i.e. like the MM/DD/YYYY format with '.' as delimiter.
All other date formats fail.
Question:
1) Why this wrong interpretation, although this format is defined?
2) How to circumvene that when I have to handle DD.MM.YYYY dates?
3) why does Origin not comply with/implement international standards?
i.e. ISO 8601 date format YYYY-MM-DD

date() accepts only one date format
