Contributor: SCOTT EARNEST unit Dates; {Gives time and date passed in DateTime format (defined by the DOS unit) as a fully formatted string. DFormat is a word type variable that tells the code how to handle the time and date: Bit Function: If 0: If 1: --- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- 15 ShowDOW Don't show day name Show day name 14 Century Show year as XX Show year as XXXX 13 SpaceDate No spaces in date Space between fields 12 CommaSep Use comma in date don't use comma 11 MonthType Numerical English name 10 > DateOrder | 00 -- DDMMYY | 10 -- YYMMDD 9 > | 01 -- MMDDYY | 11 -- YYDDMM 8 MonthName 3 letters only Full name of month 7 DateSep Space date with " " Space date with "-" 6 DTOrder time then date date then time 5 > TDSpace 00 - 11 : 1 - 4 spaces, respectively 4 > 3 HourPad Use needed spaces Always uses 2 spaces 2 HPadMeth Pad hour with " " Pad hour with "0" 1 MSPadMeth Pad min/sec with " " Pad min/sec with "0" 0 Show12_24 Use 12 hr. & am/pm 24-hour (military) Some fields require others to be set/clear to have any affect. I never got around to defining any constants for the fields, but that's easy enough to take care of in the interface section, if needed. Use freely in any venture, private or public, but if you use it in anything that makes money, please at the very least, let me the author of this unit, know about it! :-) Standard disclaimers apply.
