[CLOSED] Problem with Passing Date Format from a Calendar

Hi,
I am using a calendar and passing the date in DD/MM/YYYY format through a VARIABLE.
In our one environment the code is working fine, but when I copied the same HTML file in another environment it is not working.

At that time dates are getting passed from calendar to FEX file in DDMMYYYY format instead of DD/MM/YYYY.
Can you please suggest what could be the issue.

I compared the HTML code, but code is same. Still the problem persists.

Thanks.

Hi Mayank Agrawal,

Calendar date format should be like 
  ibiformat="DMYY"
for DD/MM/YYYY.

If still problem are there share you HTML code that you have used.

We also experience this problem with the calendar object not passing the date with slashes as expected.
Our solution is to check the date on the way in and set a new variable to be passed as follows:
-SET &NEWDATE = IF EDIT(&INDATE,'$$9') = '/' THEN &INDATE ELSE EDIT(&INDATE,'99/99/9999');

Good luck.

Mayank andJeffZ, we had the same issue. Check your client release level. Development was passing a date with slashes and production didn't. Found out it was a HotFix issue. Production was missing HotFix 5 for 7.6.11.

Good Catch John... What more can we say about HotFixes? Keep them up to date and in-sync!
