This is a read-write system workarea which allows international application implementations to override date formats globally without other changes to the application.

SysDate format can take one of the following values:

• -1 follow definition (default)
• 0 DMY
• 1 DYM
• 2 MDY
• 3 MYD
• 4 YDM
• 5 YMD

or use six letter date constants like DDMMYY as documented for method language DATE declarations If its value is not -1 all date formatting in Equinox is overwritten with respect to the order of D,M and Y
