DATEDISPLAY
The DATEDISPLAY parameter controls the display of a base date. Previously, TABLE always displayed a blank when a date read from a file matched the base date or a field with a smart date format had the value 0. The following shows the base date for each supported date format:
|
Format |
Base Date |
|---|---|
|
YMD and YYMD |
1900/12/31 |
|
YM and YYM |
1901/01 |
|
YQ and YYQ |
1901/Q1 |
|
JUL and YYJUL |
00/365 and 1900/365 |
Note: You cannot set DATEDISPLAY with the ON TABLE command.
The syntax is:
SET DATEDISPLAY = {ON|OFF}
where:
ON
Displays the base date if the data is the base date value.
OFF
Displays a blank if the date is the base date value. OFF is the default value.
