Returns MDY() returns a character string in Month DD, YY, or "Month DD, YYYY" format. Description MDY() returns the date in a character string that contains the day, name of month, and year. The Clipper SET CENTURY ON/OFF switch determines whether or not the year is displayed in 2 or 4 digits. If the function is called without a parameter, it automatically uses the current system date. Note . The returned month name always depends on which Clipper nations module is in use. A German or French version of Clipper returns the appropriate month names, despite its characteristically American display. Examples
