SM_DATETIME_FORMAT

The SM_DATETIME_FORMAT environment variable determines the default value for the si_i18n_datetime_format() function. The si_i18n_datetime_format() function is the basis of CI_Time and CI_Exception. In addition, CI_Logger uses CI_Time classes to render times. Therefore, the SM_DATETIME_FORMAT environment variable determines the default rendering for any and all timestamps.

The SM_DATETIME_FORMAT environment variable determines the default rendering for any and all timestamps. The SM_DATETIME_FORMAT environment variable can be set to several different values. If you do not set the value of the SM_DATETIME_FORMAT variable, then the default is SI_DAT_LONG.

The following examples show the output, based on the setting.
