DATE is an [ePersonality Domain] that has the following characteristics: * Data base storage is in a DATE data type (see below) * Screen representation is as a text field, with a calendar widget selector * Formatted input and output is controlled through preferences defined in [IMST] ---- DATE is an [Oracle data type] that indicates this field holds a date/time value. Although the variable is capable of holding a time component, ePersonality does not utilize this, and so all time components (other than for [CHANGE_DATE] and [CREATE_DATE]) are usually set to midnight (i.e. 00:00:00)
