writing ESRI Oracle SDE date attributes (date and month are reversed)

Hi,

 

 

An easy one, I hope, for the ESRI experts :)

 

 

I am writing a date attribute to an Oracle SDE feature class but the month and day are reversed.  The feature class is a new table created via FME.

 

 

So 20121128  appears as 11/28/2012 and not 28/11/2012  e.g. US and not European format

 

 

I tried the DateFormatter without success.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.  

 

 

Thanks,

 

 

Annette

Hi Annette,

 

 

just a wild guess, but maybe you can change the behaviour when you set the date format explicitly in the country settings of your OS.

 

 

Best regards,

Hi Stefan,

 

 

Yes, it was OS related.  Thanks for your help.
