Does anyone know a simple way to change the date format to have slashes
as date delimiters?
I have:
#locale -ck d_fmt
LC_TIME
d_fmt="%m%d%y" <-----mmddyyyy

I need:
locale -ck d_fmt
LC_TIME
d_fmt="%m/%d/%y" <--- mm/dd/yyyy

this is the current #locale
LANG=en_US
LC_COLLATE="en_US"
LC_CTYPE="en_US"
LC_MONETARY="en_US"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
LC_TIME="en_US"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
LC_ALL=

...or does anyone know how to recomple (say with cc) a current locale
file with the date stanza changed to effect the above change?

f1n1:/root>locale -c LC_TIME
LC_TIME
"Sun";"Mon";"Tue";"Wed";"Thu";"Fri";"Sat"
"Sunday";"Monday";"Tuesday";"Wednesday";"Thursday";"Friday";"Saturday"
"Jan";"Feb";"Mar";"Apr";"May";"Jun";"Jul";"Aug";"Sep";"Oct";"Nov";"Dec"
"January";"February";"March";"April";"May";"June";"July";"August";"Septe
mber";"O
ctober";"November";"December"
%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y
%m%d%y
%H:%M:%S
"AM";"PM"

%I:%M:%S %p

Don't EVER change a standard locale file. Some scripts set the LANG or
LC_TIME to get some expected parsable formats. If you change it in the
locale files, those scripts will fail.

With LANG=en_US you should get the slashes, are you sure you have the en_US
locale installed ?

Yes thanks for the input, LANG is set (see below) but node 5 is
differnt for some reason

sp1cws[/root]# dsh echo $LANG
f1n1: en_US
f1n3: en_US
f1n5: en_US
sp1cws[/root]# dsh locale -ck d_fmt
f1n1: LC_TIME
f1n1: d_fmt="%m/%d/%y"
f1n3: LC_TIME
f1n3: d_fmt="%m/%d/%y"
f1n5: LC_TIME
f1n5: d_fmt="%m%d%y"
