dateInputVariety
Global Property (Added in SenseTalk 2.30)
The dateInputVariety global property can be set to "A", "B", or "NONE" to specify which variety of date formats to use to interpret a date string which uses one of the ambiguous "day/month" or "month/day" formats. Historically, SenseTalk has shown a US-centric bias, recognizine dates in this format as being the “month/day” style. Setting the dateInputVariety to “A” (which is the default) maintains that US style. Variety “B” reverses the order to recognize the “day/month” style instead, as used in much of the rest of the world. Setting this to "None" will disallow both styles in order to prevent errors that might be introduced by interpreting a date in the opposite style from which it was intended.
