Sending Date from GUI in Certain Format

[dmax52]

I am trying to <Send> a date that was stored as a variable from a GUI date selector.

The GUI line is as follows: <Gui, Add, DateTime, vSD, MM/dd/yyyy>

For the line <Send vSD>, the script sends the date in the YYYYMMDDHH24MISS format.

Is there a way to send the date in the MM/dd/yyyy format?

Thank you.

Thank you! I was using the date format but did not figure to put the variable in between %%.
