[fpc-devel]StrToDateTime bug

[Michail A.Baikov]

Sorry for bad english...

It's not bug, and your trouble.

In system set dateseparator as '.' (without quote) and you send to parser
date with '/' separator. Compiler parse with dateseparator ('.') and space '
' and not detect your customize separator.

May be you should:

1. Replace all customize separators (Ex. '/') on current system specific
('.' for me).
2. Use fpc function for set system dateseparator to your separator
3. Get dateseparator and replace your separator on dateseparator.

Choose :-)

2Devel: I think, we should make workaround ... :-/
