The following table describes the things to consider when using the DATEFORM command.
| Topic | Usage Notes |
|---|---|
| Command Frequency and Placement | Only one DATEFORM command can be used. The command must be entered before the LOGON command. |
| Data Type Conversions | When the ANSIDATE specification is used, ANSI/SQL DateTime data types must be converted to fixed-length CHAR data types when specifying the column/field names in the FIELD command. For each DATE, TIME, TIMESTAMP, and INTERVAL data type specification, see FIELD for a description of the fixed-length CHAR representations. |
