Default Dsply Mask: Display Mask for a date/time item determines which parts included in the data dictionary Store/thru specification (month, year, or hour, for example) display on an image. This entry can include more or less parts than the data dictionary, and can be presented in a different order. If more parts are included, those parts that are not present in the data dictionary are discarded from the mask before presentation to a user. Each position in a mask may contain a part placeholder, a pad character, a special character, text, or a separator character. Refer to the chapter of the Designer Reference manual for a complete explanation of various types of Date display masks.
Storage Type determines the internal storage format of the data.
The Storage Type options are:
BINARY -- the date is stored in binary format.
PACKED DECIMAL -- the date is stored two decimal digits per byte.
ALPHANUMERIC -- the date is stored in its external representation.
