folks,
just FYI, there's an ISO standard date format presented here:
http://www.iso.ch/iso/en/prods-services/popstds/datesandtime.html
succinctly described by
www.ntk.net as:
"The YYYY-MM-DD format is trivial for computers to
order chronologically, has no ambiguous variants, and, in
common with all the best standards, has no precedent in
established practice anywhere in the world."
regards,
oliver.
