Re: Fw: [Dynapi-Dev] IOElement SODA date format

[Raymond I. <xw...@ya...>]

Well if this format "2001/05/15 09:30:45" works then I
think we should use it. I don't remember why I used
mm/dd/yyyy. I thought I had use yyy/mm/dd before but
had to resort to mm/dd/yyyy. Can't remember why.

More testing might have to be done with yyyy/mm/dd and
javascript and other server-side languages
