asp date format question

[Lin Ma]

In my asp page, I have a date value from SQL database and I would like to be
formatted like: yyyy,mm,dd.

Such as 1/22/2005 to be 2005,1,22

Is there a simple command I can use?

Thanks,
Lin

Will this help? Watch for word-wrap.

strDAT = { your SQL database date }

strDAT = DatePart("yyyy",strDAT) & "," & DatePart("d",strDAT) & "," &
DatePart("m",strDAT)

Note that "mm/dd/yyyy" format may be confusing and that "yyyy/mm/dd" is
preferred.

Just for fun and faster

Function MyDateFormat(d)
a = Split(d,"/")
If IsArray(a) Then
MyDateFormat = a(2) & "," & a(0) & "," & a(1)
End If
End Function

That is not an example of yyyy,mm,dd format, as you are suppressing leading
zeroes.

If you *really* want yyyy,mm,dd format, then you could let SQL do it, for
one thing. Using date format 102, you can force the output into yyyy.mm.dd,
then replace '.' with ',':

SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT(CHAR(10),GETDATE(),102),'.',',')
