The representation of date, time, and number values within the Windows Clients depends on the user-specific settings in the database (SET parameters, see, e.g., LOAD manual). To assure the correct interpretation of those values in the data exchange with other Windows applications, such as Excel, make sure the user-specific settings of the ADABAS SET parameters match the settings used by the other program. Most Windows programs use the country-specific settings in the Windows System Control to control the date, time, and number formats (for more information on System Control, consult your Microsoft Windows documentation).
