Another DATE question... DATE$

[Scott Wolfington]

hey guys,

will the date$ function *always* return the date in the
mm-dd-yyyy format or is it machine dependent? in other words,
can it ever come back as dd-mm-yyyy? this is important if i'm going
to use eric's method (see my last post) for parsing and
comparing dates. thanks!

The DATE$ format is always MM-DD-YYYY. I suspect that, if this ever
changes, we'll add a new function or add parameters to the existing
DATE$ function in order to allow specifying different formats.
