I wrote a program:
- windows 8 32 bits - lazarus 1.2.4 ... fpc 2.6.4 then I copied it to another computer - windows 7 64 bits - lazarus 1.0.14 .... fpc 2.6.2 and got into trouble with dates format! programs behave diferent way, and what was working on the fisrt computer does not work properly in the second! I guess I need some tutorial (I looked for but did not find anything :( !) why formatDateTime( 'DD/MM/YYYY', now) returns 18-11-2014 and not 18/11/2014 ? strtodate( formatDateTime( 'DD/MM/YYYY', now)) works ok on the w 8 32 bits, but arise an exception on the w 7 64 bits. I am confused with the following syntax function FormatDateTime( const FormatStr: string; DateTime: TDateTime [1]; const FormatSettings: TFormatSettings [2] ):string; how does it work between two format especifications: FormatStr and FormatSettings ? appreciate any example of good programming pratise of data formating to avoid bad surprise moving program from an OS to another !
