How to avoid timestamp in dates

Hi All,

I am facing a problem with Date prompt wherein the HH:MM:SS is getting appended to the Date prompt. It is showing the date as DD-MM-YY format when I select a date from calendar but when I save the report it saves in DD-MM-YYYY 12:00:00 AM format.

Thus, I cannot even apply formatdate function, as the value getting displayed is keep on changing.

Do we have a resoultion to avoid this timestamp? I am not able to solve this.

Thanks in advance,

Hi, I am going to give you a rather rude welcome to BOB since I am going to close your topic. :slight_smile: The reason isn’t because we’re rude people, but because this topic comes up over and over. There is an entry in the FAQ for the Universe Designer, and there are topics that have been posted even earlier today with the same question. So do please take a few minutes to look around (meaning search) before asking a question, thanks. :slight_smile:
