Date format on Web services

[rupenmody]

Hi,

When we have dates as part of a webservice resource, it outputs it in the following format as part of the request

<proc>2002-05-04Z</proc>

but the webservice that we are trying to connect to, is failing it, as it expects the date in a different format.

Is it possible to change the format in which is date is sent as part of the request?

Thanks

Rupen

Hi Rupen,

The only way you can achieve this is by setting the proc field as a String and using the formatdate(date1,string2) function in Ebase to convert a date representation of the field.

e.g

set PROC = formatdate(PROC_DATE, 'dd/MM/YYYY');

and changing the PROC field display type to character.

Hope this helps.

Yep, thanks it makes sense.
