Check the documentation for the HDTTM function to make your Date a Date-Time field.


Prod/Dev: WF Server 8008/Win 2008 - WF Client 8008/Win 2008 - Dev. Studio: 8008/Windows 7 - DBMS: Oracle 11g Rel 2
Test: Dev. Studio 8008 /Windows 7 (Local) Output:HTML, EXL2K.

You can then use HCNVRT to convert your Date-Time into an alphanumeric expression which you can then massage as needed to obtain the exact output you expect.

Are you tring to convert a Smart Date to Date Time? or is it Text ?

If its a Smart Date, then see what njsden posted.

If its text, then a but of dialog manager and the DT function will do.
