This procedure uses the YEAR function to determine if an Order date is in this century or the next, and then uses a different display format for each:
r-year.p
|
DEFINE VARIABLE outfmt AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE orddate AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO
LABEL "Order Date" FORMAT "x(10)".
FOR EACH Order NO-LOCK:
ASSIGN
outfmt = IF YEAR(Order.OrderDate) >= 2000 THEN
"99/99/9999" ELSE "99/99/99"
orddate = STRING(Order.OrderDate, outfmt).
DISPLAY Order.OrderNum orddate Order.Terms.
END.
