A DataFlex date token is represented by a sequence of numbers and separators that depict the day, month and year of the specific date. The ordering of the day, month and year digits and the type of separator that is used is configurable, and transparent.
By default, DataFlex represents dates in the following format: mm/dd/yyyy. Where mm represents the month (1-12), dd the day (1-31 or whatever the maximum day is for a given month) and yyyy is the year (0001 - 2500).
DataFlex can be configured to use European dates in the format dd/mm/yyyy or military dates in the format yyyy.mm.dd.
Examples of date tokens are:
12/20/1990 // USA format representing December 20, 1990
03/28/1961 // USA format representing March 28, 1961
