I think it's less ambiguous to just spell out the month and use AM/PM time, e.g.: Tue 02 Aug 2011, 06:08pm And (POSIX?) Linux "date" seems to be similarly unambiguous: Tue Aug 2 18:09:06 CDT 2011 REXX (scripting language) has a lot of "date" (built-in function, aka BIF) options, though I think only ANSI REXX (e.g. Regina) can convert between 'em, and they all have different advantages / disadvantages: http://www.kilowattsoftware.com/tutorial/rexx/bidate.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.
