If it is NOT set, it is amarican style (is it MDY4/ in USA?) In Germany, i set it to DBDATE=DMY4. gives 20.12.1999 "T.Shaik Jalaludeen" schrieb: > Hai All, > I would like to know where I can set the value for DBDATE.? > How do I find the current value of DBDATE? > I am using Informix Online 7.3 HP-UX. > > T.Jalal
