Procedure

  1. To set the format for dates in Application Server, issue the command, where <format> is a combination of the values DMY (day, month, year):

    SET DATE <format>

    The default format is YMD.

  2. To set the currency symbol for all measures, issue the following command, where <format> is a string up to four characters:

    SET DEFAULT CURRENCY '<format>'

    To set the currency symbol for a specific measure, issue the command, where <variable> is the name of the variable:

    SET VARIABLE <variable> CURRENCY '<format>'
