The calendar widget is displayed just like a function button field. Clicking on the button opens a calendar window, allowing the user to select the required date graphically using the mouse.
The selected date is then written back to the field. The date can also be entered manually using the keyboard.
The calendar widget field displays the date in the same format as specified in either the Environment attribute DBDATE or the fglprofile setting system.environment.dbdate = <date format>:
system.environment.dbdate = "dmy4-"
