NAME
getfdate - get format for DATE values
SYNOPSIS
#include <cbase/dtypes.h>
char *getfdate()
DESCRIPTION
Getfdate returns a pointer to a string containing the format for DATE values. This format string is used by atodate(C-3) and datetoa(C-3). In addition, several of the C/Base programs use this string for formatting DATE values.
The DATE format string is retrieved from the country format structure (see fcountry(C-3)).

NOTES
The value returned points to static data shared among all of the get format routines and is overwritten with each call.
DATE value formats consist of only one specifier.
