Subject: st: Fwd: changing the format of the current date
Hello,
Is there a way to change the format of the automated date in c(current_date)?
The automatic format is 22 May 2013
I would like to get something that looks like 2013 05 22
Any suggestions on how to do this would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!
Melanie
