3.3.2 Date Conversion
The date virtual will convert the format of an existing date field in the file. For example, when a date is held in a real field in format YYMMDD it can be easily mapped into a virtual field in format DDMMYY. The real field may be the most commonly used format for ordering the file, but the virtual field format may be the most commonly used for display or printing.
