1.Functional Description
1.1Purpose
This business function can serve two purposes for date conversion using the UDC table 00/DF. A
three-character date code from UDC 00/DF is required and will always be converted to the five-character date
format mask used by the JDE C date API's. This five-character format mask is returned in the data
structure member szFormatMask. In addition, if a JDEDATE-formatted date is input in the jdDateToConvert
data structure member, it will be converted to a string according to the input UDC code.
2.Technical Specifications
2.4Processing
If szDateformat is not blank, use jdeConvertUDCToDateFormat to get the szFormatMask
If jdDateToConvert is not null, use FormatDate and the szFormatMask to convert to a 10-character
(max) string.
