# Changing the Date Format Using the staffpms File

Line 5 of the `staffpms` file determines how the date is displayed in iProcess Engine. (The following example is for an iProcess Engine for Windows).

    %2d/%2d/%4d\/\%s%s %s, %s\dmy\wdmy\%2d:%2d\:\ AM\ PM\Week\NYYYYYN

Individual entries are separated by a backslash character (\). The following table describes the meaning of each entry.

| 2. | Amend the number of characters entry (position 1) to be `%4d/%2d/%2d`.

    %4d/%2d/%2d\/\%s%s %s, %s\ymd\wdmy\%2d:%2d\:\ AM\ PM\Week\NYYYYYN

## Changing the Date Delimiter

To change the date delimiter, for example to a hyphen character, amend the number of characters (position 1) and date delimiter (position 2) entries as shown.
