Can someone help.................... I need to format the date and insert the time that the financial reports are printed, but can't seen to quite find how to do that. I found where it should be done, but it won't allow me to change the format.

If you want to format a date in a specific way, use the DateString function to apply the date and/or time formatting masks.

Examples of how to do this are in the sample spec GL!DateFunctionExamples.SAM. This spec may already be in your company data, or you can open it from the sample company in the \Ledger\Samdata directory.

See rows 40 and 41 for more interesting examples of a 'completed' date format.

If you want the date and time in the Footer see the Help file:

Headers and Footers
If you select the Header and Footer option from the File menu, you can enter hard-coded information to appear on the header or footer of your report, just like in a spreadsheet.

You can also use some special codes to include other information. Wherever you want this information to appear in your header/footer, enter the code(s) of interest in the Header / Footer tab. They are:



Code Prints
$A Application name
$C Company name from the company profile
$D Date the report is printed
%H Hour the report is printed
%M Minute the report is printed
$F File name
$R Sheet tab name
$N Total number of pages in the report
$P Number of the individual page on the report
$X File path of the statement specification
$U User initials
$L User name (long)
$Y As of Month dd, yyyy for the period and year selected for the statement
