Summary

Users need to be able to enter a date in DD-MON-YYYY format at the prompt

Content

Our date format changed to dd-MON-yyyy (15-MAY-2017), but the only way the report runs is if the date is entered in DD-MM-YYYY format (15-05-2017) at the prompt.  Is there a way to change this so the user can enter dd-MON-yyyy?
