[ date->setformat ]
[Date->SetFormat] sets the output date format for a particular date data type within a Lasso format file. The tag requires one parameter which defines how the date should be formatted.
%D U.S. date format (mm/dd/yyyy).
%Q MySQL date format (yyyy-mm-dd).
%q MySQL timestamp format (yyyymmddhhmmss).
%r 12-hour time format (hh:mm:ss [AM/PM]).
%T 24-hour time format (hh:mm:ss).
%Y 4-digit year.
%y 2-digit year.
%m Month number (1=January, 12=December).
%B Full English month name (e.g. "January").
%b Abbreviated English month name (e.g. "Jan").
%d Day of month (1-31).
%w Day of week (1=Sunday, 7=Saturday).
%W Week of year.
%A Full English weekday name (e.g. "Wednesday").
%a Abbreviated English weekday name (e.g. "Wed").

%M Minute (0-59).
%S Second (0-59).

%% A percent sign.
By default, all output is zero padded to two characters. For example, 02/03/2002.
A hyphen - between the % and the letter code instructs Lasso not to pad the output. For example, 2/3/2002
An underscore _ between the % and the letter instructs Lasso to pad the output with spaces. For example, 2/ 3/2002.
