Thanks to Bruce Hines for his expertise.
Here's what he had me do:
0. mkdir loc (from your home) and cd loc
1. create file called LC_TIME.src will following contents:
LC_TIME
m_d_recent "%m/%d/%y"
m_d_old "%m/%d/%y"
END LC_TIME
2. run command "localedef -i LC_TIME.src LC_TIME"
3. create script "vi myls"
#!/usr/bin/ksh
#
#
LC_TIME=$HOME/loc/LC_TIME
export LC_TIME
ls -l
What I did for step 3 was put LC_TIME=$HOME/loc/LC_TIME
export LC_TIME in my .profile and now I get numeric dates.
Also you can do whatever you want in the m_d_recent definition.
Thanks again for you help.
