RPA Automation Anywhere date format

Question

How can I change the user input date format in Automation Anywhere without changing the system variable format?

Example: the user Input date is 28/05/2018, the required output is 05/28/2018

Answer 1

The easiest way that I can think of on the top of my head is to use the other built-in system variables for day, month and year this way you can format the date any way you want without changing the date system variable.

Alternatively, Automation Anywhere bot store has a free metabot package called "Change Date and Time Format" that you can download. This has a DLL built into it called changeDateFormat that takes a "culture" as a variable, you can check the documentation i bet it has the format you’re looking for.
