Hello Shy,

You know the expression "string":

STRING(X-Coord, "99")

Where are you from? Because I have a book in pdf about Progress.

Use a StartUp Parameter - that way you KNOW because you are assigning the format (-d dmy)

Programmatically you can find out the date format used by your session from the SESSION system handle, accessing its DATE-FORMAT attribute:

SESSION:DATE-FORMAT

Hope it helps
