------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax
   set date datetype

 Arguments
   datetype is a keyword specifying the appearance of date display.

 Description
   The set date command controls the format of a date variable that is
   either displayed, printed or converted to a string.

   The D and E get functions override set date. The date functions
   today(), ctod(), and dtoc() respect the status of set date.

   Possible keywords for using as the datetype argument are explained in the
   Date type table.

 Example
   #define EXAMPLE_DATE
   #include example.hdr

   proc Test_setdate
   ? today()             // test default date format (American)
   set date british
   ? today()             // test British date format
   set date german
   ? today()             // test German date format
   endproc

   proc main
   Test_setdate()
   endproc
