| Variable name | DataType |
|---|---|
| InputDate | Date |
| OutputDate | Date |
| Text constant name | ENU value |
|---|---|
| Text000 | The normal date for %1 is %2. |
InputDate := 040414D;
OutputDate := NORMALDATE(InputDate);
MESSAGE(Text000, InputDate, OutputDate);
On a computer that has the regional format set to English (United States), the message window displays the following:
