Subject: st: Fwd: changing the format of the current date

Hello,

Is there a way to change the format of the automated date in c(current_date)?

The automatic format is 22 May 2013

I would like to get something that looks like 2013 05 22

Any suggestions on how to do this would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks!

Melanie
