How SQL*Forms 3.0 handles DATE's.

In follow-up to a question I posted late last week can somebody please confirm the following for me:

(1) A date selected into a field of type DATE and length 9 the data will be DD-MON-YY?
(2) A date selected into a field of type DATE and length 11 the data will be DD-MON-YYYY?
(3) A date selected into a field of type DATE and length 20 the data will be DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS?

In each of the above cases assume that the field is populated using the following statement:
select sysdate
into block.date_field
from dual;

Thanks In Advance

Regards, Martin

PS - I would try the above examples out for myself except that I don't know much about Programming SQL*Forms 3.0. I guess I better learn fast if I am to make them Y2K compliant, huh? :-)
