Problems with different date format masks (related to Forms and Reports)
Hello friends at www.oracle.com,
when I sent some informations to Reports, one of these informations was a date field. Here, the format mask may vary from one computer to another - some computers here are using american date format; however, my computer was using brazilian date format.
The fact is that I was sending date information to Reports using the mask dd/mm/yyyy, and Reports (in the computer that uses american date format) couldn't recognize it, stating that I was sending an invalid month. So I had to change my date information to dd-mon-yyyy and Reports could run in the other computer, but doesn't run here anymore - fact that obligated me to change my date format to american format.
Is there any way for me to use a date format mask that's valid to all computers here? If other computers - with other format masks - meet the same problem, the use of this program may become something very complicated.
Thanks for all answers,
