international Date

[Sivakatirswami]

Am I the  only one who continues to be perplexed as to why the
international date format is not a standard engine function?

Hypenated: YYYY-MM-DD,  zero padded comes standard with SQL
but in Rev we have to do little dances like:

FUNCTION internationalDate tDate
     convert tDate to dateitems
     IF len(item 2 of tDate<2) THEN put "0" before item 2 of tDate
     IF len(item 3 of tDate<2) THEN put "0" before item 2 of tDate
     return   (item 1 of  tDate &"-" & item 2 of tDate &"-" & item 3 of
tDate)
END internationalDate

?? am I missing  something?

Worthy of a feature request?
