Some examples of what I would like: STRING(DATE, "dd/mm/ccyy") -- 24/02/2014 STRING(DATE, "mmm dd, yyyy") -- Feb 24, 2014 STRING(DATE, "dd-MMM-yy") -- 24-February-14 STRING(DATE, "julian") -- 14055 and also allowing us to get the day of week (full or abbreviated) Examples of JAVA formatting - http://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/java_date_time.htm
