Work with Date format in AX 2009

Hi Developers,

you can use the following code for changing the format of date in ax

dt=today();

datestr(dt,123,2,4,2,4,2);

here

dt is todaysdate,

OR

datestr(Date_Field_Name,123,2,4,2,4,2);

"123" means,1 for day,2 for month,3 for year,u can also reorder these
"2" for printing the day or month or year  as per u r chosen format
"4" for seperator like  /,-, etc whatever u want
"2" for month
"4" for seperator
"2 "for year

When you need to convert from date to string in x++ it's need many parameters in the function that convert from date to string i'll explain with simple example :
void DateTStringConvert()
{
date today=today();
str TodayDate;
;
 TodayDate = date2str( today,321,DateDay::Digits2,DateSeparator::Slash,DateMonth::Digits2,DateSeparator::Slash,DateYear::Digits4);
info(TodayDate );
}

Note :

The function date2str  take following parameters :
1- the date .
2- the date style dmy or ymd or....etc .
3- number of digits for day .
4- separator
5- number of digits for month.
6- separator
7- number of digits for year.

now you can use the date as string
