# udate command

The udate command sets the system date format to the United States
 standard.

## Syntax

```
UDATE
```

## Description

The United States date format is MONTH/DAY/YEAR. For example, the date December 23, 1993,
 would appear as 12/23/93.

 D3 retains this format unless you reset it to international standard.

 D3 is set for United States standard format. To set the date format to the international
 standard, use the idate command.
