progress 4GL/ABL如何將字符串「July 24 2015」轉換爲＃06/24/2015＃date（TS）？

Question

我有像 "July 24 2015"字符串是否可以將其轉換爲日期（TS）數據類型？

它會轉換爲類似MM/DD/YYYY "07/24/2015 00:00:00.000"

我可以做到這一點的進步4GL？

謝謝

define variable inputString as character no-undo. 
define variable monthList as character no-undo. 

monthList = "January,February,March,April,May,June,July,August,September,October,November,December". 

update inputString format "x(30)". 

display datetime(date(
    lookup( entry(1, inputString, " "), monthList), 
    integer(entry(2, inputString, " ")), 
    integer(entry(3, inputString, " ")) 
)).
