V1.6 ignores date format mask "DD.MM.RRRR"

jochen.kutscherukJan 10 2005 — edited Jan 11 2005
I've found another problem in 1.6:
I have a date picker with format mask 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI'. I actually need 'DD.MM.RRRR HH24:MI'. In V1.5 I've put this format mask in "Source: Format Mask" and it was recognized. This means, if something like "10,1,5 10,15" was entered in this field, the result (after submitting) was "10.01.2005 10:15" (that's what I wanted). In V1.6 the "Source Format Mask" seems to be ignored when submitting the page. The resulting date in the database is "10.01.0005 10:15". Some centuries ago :-)
Any ideas what I can do?
BTW: Unfortunately HTMLDB (as many others Oracle products) ignores the "european" date formats, e.g. "DD.MM.RRRR". It's very unpractical for us to use the "/", as we can reach it only by "Shift-7" (german keyboard layout). And nobody is used to the strange "/" within dates. Would it be possible for the HTMLDB-Developers to add some more date masks? This would be very helpful.
Thanks
Jochen
