Hallo Peter, 

 PK> The problem is that it only works with the German date format (dd.mm.yy),
 PK> not the Swedish (yy-mm-dd) nor American (mm-dd-yy)...

Living in Sweden, you're by now probably very adept at changing these
things. I had hoped that 01.01.2000 would be widely acceptable (should have
been 01-01-2000). I was aware of the use of the yy-mm-dd format only for
Japan.

 PK> Is there anyway to get 4DOS to report which date format is in use?

Something like this?

 Iff "%{at}date[1-2-3]" eq "8402" then
     set _df=us/int
 elseiff "%{at}date[2-1-3]" eq "8402" then
     set _df=german
 elseiff "%{at}date[3-1-2]" eq "8402" then
     SET _df=jap/swed
 endiff
