When using an assignment for a date in expressions, including Service or Salary conversion transformation expressions and Data Default expressions, such as:

Date1 := DateOfBirth &

adding the three characters _DT to the name will display the date in readable date format in the Calculation Results. If the _DT suffix is not used, the date representation will be in numeric format (i.e., the number of days since 1/1/1900).

Date1_DT := DateOfBirth &

Example:

If date of birth (DateOfBirth) is March 3, 1985 then:

Variable assignment	Display results
Date1 := DateOfBirth &	31,107
Date1_DT := DateOfBirth &	3/03/1985.
