This Natural profile and session parameter determines the format in which
the settings of date variables are placed on the stack via a
STACK,
RUN or
FETCH statement.
Within a Natural session, the profile parameter
DFSTACK can be overridden by the session parameter
DFSTACK.
| Possible settings | S |
Date variables are placed on the
stack with a 2-digit year component, and delimiters as determined by the
profile parameter DTFORM. For example:
yy-mm-dd.
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
C |
Same as DFSTACK=S. In
addition, if the century used when the setting is read from the stack is not
the same as that of the original date setting, Natural will issue a runtime
error.

Date variables are placed on the
