Hi,

 

I needed to convert a string “20251201” to the date 01-Dec-2025.  The
below works:

 

param d := str2time("20251201","%Y%m%d");

display time2str(d,"%F");

 

BUT the %Y is undocumented.  The documentation (version 4.58, page 57)
for str2time refers to %y, and is explicit that this is for a year
without a century, but there is no mention of %Y in str2time format
specifiers or how to convert strings that have full-year (century
included).

 

I recommend that on the next release the documentation adds the %Y
specifier.
