For the developers who wants to manipulate date field value, can use date functions in 4GL. Also there is inbuilt string function which can be useful for the developers to manipulate date using 4GL.
In this blog, we will see how we can manipulate date format using “format$”string function.

Syntax: format$(“format required”,”Date value”)
Let’s consider an example, format$(“YYYY[-]MM[-]DD”,date$) , Here we considered.
“YYYY-MM-DD” format and “date$” function gives us current date and we change the current date format of system to required format in our code.
