Use SET DATEFORMAT to set the default date format for commands which provide
multiple date formats. Default date formats may be set for individual users or the
entire system.
SHOrtdate
specifies that dates will be displayed in mm/dd/yy, mm/dd, or yy/mm/dd format,
where mm is the month, dd is the day of the month, and yy is the 2-digit year.
FULldate
specifies that dates will be displayed in mm/dd/yyyy or yyyy/mm/dd format,
where mm is the month, dd is the day of the month, and yyyy is the 4-digit year.
ISOdate
specifies that dates will be displayed in yyyy-mm-dd format, where yyyy is the
4-digit year, mm is the month, and dd is the day of the month.
SYSdefault
specifies that the default date format for this user will be set to the system-wide
default.
USER
specifies that the default date format is being set for the user.
SYSTEM
specifies that the default date format is being set for the entire system.
1. If SET DATEFORMAT is not specified for an individual user and there is no
DATEFORMAT statement in the user’s directory entry, the default date format
for that user is the system-wide default.
2. SYSDEFAULT is not valid with SYSTEM.
SET DATEFORMAT
3. If the default date format for a user is set to (or defaults to) the system-wide
default date format, and the system-wide default is changed, the user continues
to see the old system-wide default as the user default until the user either logs
off and logs back on or issues SET DATEFORMAT SYSDEFAULT to switch to
the new system-wide default.
