Oracle Forms

Hi,

I a form, I have been trying to assign an initial value for a date field with the following approach.

1. In when-new-form-instance add:

:global.i_date := sysdate;

2. In the date field that I tried to initialize, I add

:global.1_Date to Initial Value with format mask MM/DD/YYYY.

It ends up giving 04/24/0009 instead of 04/24/2009.

Any clues are greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
Jimmy
