Business 'fancy date format'

[Robert Fewell]

John,

After I sent this I thought that was the case, if you have not changed it
there will not be a KVP value in the book. Just checked the raw file, the
only KVP value for Business is the Company name I put in. Fired up my test
file and as above the combo box is showing UTC but obviously no KVP to
retrieve so report fails.

Added this to display (gnc-default-strftime-date-format) and it shows '%B
%e, %Y' which I think is November 8, 2016.
Is that equivalent to UTC ?

Looks like the reports need to test for a valid date format otherwise use
the default above.


Bob
