progress-4gl - progress 4GL / ABL 如何将字符串“2015 年 7 月 24 日”转换为 #06/24/2015# 日期（TS）？

Question

我有字符串， "July 24 2015" 是否可以将其转换为日期（TS）数据类型？

它会转换为类似 mm/dd/YYYY "07/24/2015 00:00:00.000"

我可以用进度 4GL 做到这一点吗？

谢谢你

define variable inputString as character no-undo.
define variable monthList   as character no-undo.

monthList = "January,February,March,April,May,June,July,August,September,October,November,December".

update inputString format "x(30)".

display datetime( date(
  lookup(  entry( 1, inputString, " " ), monthList ),
  integer( entry( 2, inputString, " " )),
  integer( entry( 3, inputString, " " ))
)).
