Date Formatting of sendtaskdescription

[Nobles, Diane]

Not sure if this would work, but it sounds like the Gui-XT may be your
solution.  Not sure what version of SAP you have, but with 4.5 and later you
have the Gui-XT capability, which impacts the front-end view.  Maybe you
could use this and program the individual users at the different plants,
i.e., Americans with MM/DD/YYYY and the Europeans with MM.DD.YYYY and so
forth and accommodate all.  This should not impact or affect the workflow as
the Gui only changes the screen views, but it just might work.

Subject: Date Formatting of sendtaskdescription
 
 
We share our system with Europeans who do not want to
see the date in the American format MM/DD/YYYY and
vice versa.
 
When I use the background task sendtaskdescription,
all the date formatting will be based on the settings
of WF-BATCH.
 
I have a workflow that will be used by all countries
and it has many dates in the long text.
 
Is there an easy way to make everyone happy?  I'm
hoping to avoid reading the user's settings and
writing the dates as formatted text to text fields.
 
Thanks!
Cristy
