The date format can be set in several ways, listed below. The list is ordered from high to low priority – the top item will be honored above the one below it and so on. The date format can be set:
In the import file with the DATE_FORMAT<string> keyword. Place the keyword above all import file objects.
With the command line parameter –date_format <string>.
In the clarify.env file.
With the environmental variable DIET_DATE.
By appending the CLARIFY_DATE and CLARIFY_TIME environment variables.
The date format is similar to UNIX time formatting:
%y : two digit year */
%d : two digit day
%D : %m/%d/%y
%e : simple day
%H : 24 hour two digit hour
%I : 12 hour two digit hour
%k : 24 hour simple hour
%l : 12 hour simple hour
%m : two digit month
%M : two digit minute
%n : newline
%p : am/pm
%R : %H:%M
%S : second
%t : tab
%T : %H:%M:%S
%Y : four digit year
%yyyy : four digit year
For example, the time format '%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S' matches '3/10/2000 21:45:12'.
To turn off date format warnings, use the –date_quiet command parameter.
