[GNC] Date format for QIF file

[Derek Atkins]

Not particularly.
The issue is that 11/12 is ambiguous.  Is it November 12 or December 11?  
Using a 2-digit year doesn't help.
The best way is to ensure you have a day > 12 in the mix (and a year > 31). 
 So using 12/29/2022 should give you a unique format.
You cannot use month names, only numbers.
