If you want to use a date other than the actual current date supplied by
TFORM, use this option of the TODAY command. Defining the three
exp values sets up the conditions for the TODAY command so it can
reassign new values to the SYS_DATE variable. To use this option, you
follow these three steps
1. Enter the TODAY CHANGE command with the components of the
new date. All three numeric expressions must be present. The year
number is usually the last two digits, but TFORM accepts all four
digits.
2. Enter the TODAY command with the option you want—for example,
SHORT WORLD or LONG USA—so TFORM knows how to format
your changed date.
3. Use the SYS_DATE where you want TFORM to insert the new date
into your text.
