Our non-American readers might be interested to know that D2/ does not always have to produce a date in the format MM/DD/YY. The undocumented @variable @DATE.FORMAT can be used to alter the way in which all dates are converted. To use, set @DATE.FORMAT to the modifier required and this modifier will subsequently be tagged to the end of all date conversions. Thus setting @DATE.FORMAT to 'E' and printing the date D2/ would give a date in the format DD/MM/YY. This seems to work for all letters, e.g. H, J etc.
