Today I am really stuck with a simple problem.
I re-wrote an application we have in Fox 2.6 that in the end it created a text file we send to another company. We created this text file using, at the end of the process a line like:
copy to (lcDestFile) fields update, uptime.... delimited
Now if you look at the text file you'll see something similar to
20051025,"06:10:28", .....
If you do the same with VFP 9, what you get is:
10/25/2005,"06:10:28", .....
Were The format of the date will depend on the settings of SET("DATE"), so the question is what is the easiest way to accomplish this, without writing a whole program (that I would start writing after I get my lunch)
I tried
select dtos(update) as update, uptime, ... into cursor somecursor
copy to (lcDestFile) fields update, uptime.... delimited
but then i got
"20051025","06:10:28", .....
Any ideas of what I am missing here?
