Usage

The expression is:

#format.datePicker(“fieldname”,”mask”)#

with the following two parameters:

• DatePickerName: Selects an existing field in the form or report.
• Mask: Sets the display for the date value.

Example

You might use this expression to take the Start Date from the Criteria page of a report and copy the Start Date to the body of the report with a different format.
