You can use this to display the date in whatever format you require. For
example
today = the systemDate
if today.day < 9 then dayStr = "0" & today.day
else dayStr =String(today.day)
-- month
MonthList = ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug",\
"Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"]
monthStr = MonthList[today.month]
yearStr = string(today.year)
dateStr = dayStr & "-" & monthStr & "-" & yearStr
Hope this helps,
Luke
