[Date_Format] outputs a Lasso date string in any format.
The first parameter should be in Lasso date format. The -DateFormat keyword/value parameter defines how the date should be formatted.
%D U.S. date format: (mm/dd/yy).
%r 12-hour time format (hh:mm:ss [AM/PM]).
%T 24-hour time format (hh:mm:ss).
%Y 4-digit year.
%y 2-digit year.
%m Month number (1=January, 12=December).
%B Full English month name (e.g. "January").
%b Abbreviated English month name (e.g. "Jan").
%d Day of month (1-31).
%w Day of week (1=Sunday, 7=Saturday).
%A Full English weekday name (e.g. "Wednesday").
%a Abbreviated English weekday name (e.g. "Wed").
%H 24-hour time hour (0-23).
%h 12-hour time hour (1-12).
%M Minute (0-59).
%S Second (0-59).
%p AM/PM for 12-hour time.
%z Time zone offset in relation to GMT (e.g. -0800).
%% A percent sign.
By default, all output is zero padded to two characters. For example, 02/03/2002.
A hyphen - between the % and the letter code instructs Lasso not to pad the output. For example, 2/3/2002
An underscore _ between the % and the letter instructs Lasso to pad the output with spaces. For example, 2/ 3/2002.
[Date_Format: Base Date
-DateFormat=Date Format]
Use the [Date_Format] tag with an appropriate -DateFormat parameter. The format for MySQL dates is %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S. The following example converts the current date and time into MySQL date/time format.
[Date_Format: (Date_GetCurrentDate), -DateFormat='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S']
