Check the User master maintenance screen language(us,ch) are linked with date format.

(taken from online help of field [Country Code] in User Maintenance)

Enter a three-character country code (ISO code) to associate with this user.
The country code must:
- Be a valid country code defined in Country Code Maintenance
- Have an alternate country code defined in Country Code Maintenance

The alternate country code is an International Standards Organization (ISO) code. ISO country codes are defined as generalized codes in MFG/PRO. The system uses the ISO code to set up date and number formats and other interface elements for each user session.

Hello Bro,

Can you be more clear....

In 2.14.1 i.e Country Code Maintenance - I do have a country named 'IND' (India)
If I give INDIA in Name field in the menu its giving me an error :
ERROR: ALTERNATE CODE SHOULD EXIST IN GENERALIZED CODE. Please re-enter.

So I need to add INDIA in GCM for field ctry_country ? ... But if I add and create a user with region / country as 'IND' in 36.3.18 .. the system date will change to dd/mm/yy ? If so then how.. because we are not specifying the date format anywhere in our above process ?

Please help..

you should create in GCM an entry for field "ctry_code1" (the alternate country code)
i.e:
code_fldname="ctry_code1"
code_value="IND"

make sure that in Country Code Maintenance (menu 2.14.1)
the Alternate Country Code field contains the ISO code for india (i.e. IND)

Bro..
look at the screen shots...

check the contents of this file: locale.dat
it should be located in srvr folder (above folder us)

if there's no entry for India, edit the file and add new entry for India

note: it seems QAD uses 2-letter ISO country codes (not 3-letter as stated in online help)

Bro.... I edited this file ....
this is the entry (in bold) that I made with others

TU,tr,TR,,dmy,European
UA,uk,UA,,dmy,European
US,en,IN,,dmy,American

But this has also not worked out !!!

i think you must restart MFG to reload locale.dat
