Dear LS,

When converting csv files to xml and then via xsl to a destination xml file I often experience problems with date fields not being in the correct notation for the receiving application. The expected date format is yyyy-mm-dd.

What's the best way to put those fields in the correct notation? Should I do it by changing the international settings of Excel? Seems not the nicest solution as you then have to revert it a lot of times to work with normal European notation in between xml stuff.

A better solution seemed to be to specify a target data type in Stylus Studio for which an option is available in the csv to xml adapter (property: target data type). I tested this but it didn't work and this is also what the manual states: cuurently not supported.

Hope you can help,



Cynthia

Actually, you want to set the source data type to Date, and then
set the 'date order' property to whatever is in your input file.

The converter will then emit YYYY-MM-DD dates.
