Date Attribute Ranges

All dates, including date attributes, are displayed in the format specified in the MX_NORMAL_DATETIME_FORMAT variable.

Because of this, if date attributes with range values are used, EVERY user must use the same setting for this variable. Otherwise, when a user creates a business object of the Type that has a date attribute with a default range specified in a different format, the default value for that date cannot be displayed for your business object, and therefore 3DSpace cannot load attributes during creation, and you will receive the following error message:

Date format for the DateAttribute is invalid. The correct format is: [Gives your formats].

The same is true if you just try to bring up attributes of an object that has the date attribute set in a different format than that specified in the local .ini file. It may be easiest to use the default setting for these variables, when date attributes with ranges are used.
