Hi All,
(thoght I posted it already
)
Is there any way this can work?
Doesn't work in the current site,
was wondering is or should it be possible?
Tested hard coded conversion mask works.
Thanks,

If myDateFormat is a job parameter, have you tried enclosing it in hash marks?
If it isn't then please explain how you are setting it up...

Where exactly are you trying to do this?
If you're trying to use a job parameter, you must select it using the expression editor - for some reason typing it in is not recognized.

That's true... it doesn't always need to be enclosed as I noted and I forget where it doesn't want them. The expression editor always knows, however.

Stage attributes need # signs
Basic expressions/code doesn't
