If I run the following
result = MATCHNAME(, 'MyVar', contents.i, 'NA' , 'ND')
I might get something like (as the date variable)8 12 2007 22 24 48 I would like to change this to (say)20070812 22 24 48 2 questions.
- is there any setting that affects the date format returned by matchname - I thought I could call the date function to reformat it, but strangely (unless I've missed something) the output from matchname can't be used directly as input to date (there doesn't seem to be an option that accepts that date format) . Is that correct ? |
