cpinfoCurrentLocaleDateString cutting off last 2 digits

Hmmm Ludovic, did you mean ASSIGN instead of Affect?

For other users: the advantage of the mentioned system variable is that the date will be presented in the format you have set up in your OS. When you change that setup, the result will be different. More information about all system variables in:

Wrapping a variable name with double dollar signs does not give you any chance to configure how many characters are displayed when the variable's value is shown.  The default number is only 50 characters.  For best results you should insert the variable into the text container using the button provided in the Properties tab.  That will show a dialog box that then allows you to not only specify the variable to be displayed but also how many characters should be allowed.

I think you will find that if you insert the variable this way and set the number of characters to something more generous (e.g. 100) then it will not be cut off.

Hi Rod

Thanks for your response.

Unfortunately not as you've noted, simply because I'm just using the system variable 'cpinfoCurrentLocaleDateString' so even with December being a rather long word it won't reach the 50 character limit because it should read '31 December 2015' but it reads '31 December 201'

I've used the cut and paste from another project that displays it properly but when pasted it reads with exactly the same problem.

Any other solutions?
