Date

Represents a date (not including a time). The page input for a Date is a textfield, the expected format is dd/MM/yyyy. The page output for a Date shows the Date formatted with dd/MM/yyyy. Use the format function to customize the output format.

The default value for Date properties and variables is null. Note that all Date types are DateTime at run-time.

The Date type is compatible with the DateTime and Time types. A Date can be cast to these types.
