Get Date/Time String outputs wrong format...

[swbpnole]

The following is a small sub-VI I am creating to output the day of the week, day of month, month, and year as a U16 array:

The Get Date/Time String VI is supposed to output a date string of the format "DD/MM/YY" when the enum "short" is selected. Instead I get this:

It seems the VI is "broken" or the documentation is incorrect. Has anyone else incountered this?

I am running LabView 2015 on Windows 7.

It's supposed to return a local specific date format. Check your regional settings in Control Panel.

aputmans solution is the right way to do this to avoid regional settings specific variations.
