Predefined Masks
Predefined masks are used to set format specifications for date and time. You can define your predefined masks in the Masks section of the Application Properties panel of Rogue Wave® Views Studio. The following table defines and names the format showing how they are displayed. In the mask format, characters representing the decimal point depend on application settings. The first column shows the decimal formats, the second shows the value, and the final column shows the format applied to the values.
