[SOLVED] Correct Date Format

[borland convert]

"MM-DD-YYYY" was accepted as a correct date format in older versions of freepascal/lazarus. However, with the latest 3.2.0/2.0.12 version, i get the error message

"MM-DD-YYYY" is not a correct date format.

I can't find the currently accepted date format on the net or in freepascal documentation.

Is this a problem with freepascal or lazarus? What are accepted formats now?

Thx.

Formats for what? FormatDateTime()? DateToStr()? TFormatSettings? ????

What is it you're trying to do and where and how it doesn't work?

Might depend on your locale and OS (neither of which you're telling us) but in the interim I'd direct your attention to https://xkcd.com/1179/

Nobody knows what you are doing. Show the code which causes this error.

Structurally, the format string is correct. Or are applying it with double quotes? Then it is wrong. Strings are single-quoted in Pascal.
