[s2; Formats date. Date is formated using the standard Format function, 
where the string set by SetDateFormat is used as formating string, 
and the three supplied integer value arguments are year, month 
and day.&]

[s2; Specifies CharFilterDate behaviour. Digits are always allowed 
in CharFilterDate. If there is `"a`" at the beginning of seps 
string, letters are allowed. If there is `"A`", letters are allowed 
and converted to upper`-case. After this optional character, 
list of characters allowed as separator follows. `"`\a`" after 
character designates `"amend`" character `- if used, all characters 
up to next `"amend`" character are replaced by it.&]
