Dates?

[Ken Ray]

How about:

function getFormattedDate pDate
  put pDate into tLongDate
  convert pDate to system date
  convert tLongDate to long date
  set the itemDel to "/"
  put word -1 of tLongDate into item -1 of pDate
  return pDate
end getFormattedDate

HTH,

P.S. And no, I'm not going to benchmark it... :-)
