    Hi Riyas,

    The command any2date() is converting a string to a date value. The date value is not aware of the format to be used on a report. In fact you tried to pick a date, convert it to text with a certain format and then directly convert back to a date. It is some additional roundtrip to get the same as "tmp.TransDate = _header.TransDate"

    Can you elaborate on the 'xml format' comment? What is the exact issue here?

    Hi Riyas ahamed F,

    I would suggest then you create a string field instead of Date field. If you have date field, and don't specify format on the report text box, it will take format from the user locale info.

    If you dont want to  specify date format in designer then create a String field in Report table and format the date using date2Str(_header.TransDate, 123,4,2,4,2,2). Then use that string field to display on report.
