How can I change the default date format returned by &DATE from the American format to UK format? September 30th, 1953 ---> US format 30 September 1953 ---> UK format
The 'right' way is to modify the DSM#Snn macro ('nn' depends
on your installation) per the instructions in Chapter 3
the DCF GML Imp Guide. If you don't want to do it that way,
the following hack at the top of your source
file should do it:
.se x = index '&date.' ' '
.se x = &x. - 1
.se mon = SUBSTR '&date.' 1 &x.
.se date '&SYSDAYOFM &mon. 19&SYSYEAR
It pulls the month string from the current &date then
reconstructs and resets the symbol.
