rbf_formatDate()
Warning: Support for using this method with external objects (such as those mapped to external tables, to OpenEdge Service objects, or through a HDP connection) is a beta feature. This method is supported in production systems, except for external objects.
Purpose
This function formats a JavaScript Date object into a string suitable for storing in Date input fields.
Note: When using the New UI, Infinite Blue recommends obtaining the
date format from the user's localization settings via the PageLocalization object. See the
example below. See PageLocalization for more information
about the PageLocalization object. In addition, all date formats used in the New UI should
conform to those in the Kendo formatting library. See the Kendo UI documentation for more
information.
Syntax
rbf_formatDate(d, format)
Parameters

format

Note: This API is supported in portals as well.
Example
This example uses the PageLocalization object to populate the format
parameter:
rbf_formatDate(new Date(), rbf_getPageContext().getPageLocalization().getDateFormat());
