DTOC()
DTOC() converts a date value to a character string.
Syntax
DTOC(<expD>)
Argument
<expD> is the date value to convert.
Returns
A character string.
DTOC() returns a character string representation of a date value based
on the DATE and CENTURY SETtings. (See SET DATE for the supported
formats.) The default format return value is in the form "mm/dd/yy".
A null date returns a string of eight or ten spaces depending on
whether CENTURY is OFF or ON.
Usage
DTOC() is primarily useful for formatting purposes when you want
to display the date in the SET DATE format and a character expression
is required (in a LABEL FORM, for example).
If you are INDEXing a date as a part of a compound key, use DTOS()
instead of DTOC().
