TapeTrack Documentation

====== SetMoveDateFormat ======

Define the way that the MOVEDATE field should be converted into a date value.

===== Phase =====

This instruction is used by the TapeTrack Synchronization Engine.

===== Syntax =====

''SetMoveDateFormat(filepath);''

^ Variable ^ Type ^ Description ^ Min Length ^ Max Length ^
|filepath| String | The full or relative path to a file that you wish to embed.|1|32|

<note tip>It should be noted that by the time this function is run, the INI engine has already tried to
resolve environmental variables so it is necessary to include two percentage symbols for each
symbol that would usually be required by strptime(3).</note>

===== Example =====

Extract the Move Date in format mm/dd/YYYY.

<code>
Extract(MOVEDATE, 10, 10, 0); 
SetMoveDateFormat("%%m/%%d/%%Y"); 

</code>
