Idiom #99 Format date YYYY-MM-DD

Assign to the string x the value of the fields (year, month, day) of the date d, in format YYYY-MM-DD.

Dim x As String = d.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")
with Ada.Calendar.Formatting;
X : constant String :=
    Ada.Calendar.Formatting.Image (D) (1 .. 10);

The Image function returns time as well therefore the slice.
