It is YYYYMMDD on my mainframe. However, on reports we still display it as MM/DD/YYYY. In a computer, YYYYMMDD just makes more sense. Good for sorting, good for comparison. If you are into Object Oriented Languages then the day month and year are all individual objects, and can be displayed in any format you can imagine or dream up.
