Hi,

Can you change the date from British to American using SET DATE command?

For example, say you have a char column in a DBF like this:
14/10/2020
08/03/2012
16/2/2020
3/3/2010
all the above characters show the date in a British format. Note the above are not dates but char representation of a date.
Now I want to change them to American format (mm/dd/yyyy)
Can it be done without many SUBSTR()?

TIA
