DATE-format functions

There are several DATE-format functions that support extensions to format era-based DATE values.

The DATE-format functions are as follows:
  • rdatestr()
  • rstrdate()
  • rdefmtdate()
  • rfmtdate()
These functions support extensions to format era-based DATE values:
  • Support for the GL_DATE environment variable
  • Era-based date formats of the DBDATE environment variable
  • Extensions to the date-format strings for DATE-format functions
  • Support for a precedence of date display formats

These topics describe locale-specific behavior of the DATE-format functions. For details, see the HCL OneDB™ ESQL/C Programmer's Manual.
