I need append the 2 GL table into 1 table . 

For GL_I table the Posting date format is text :-

For GL Table the Posting Date format is perfect because is Date format of DD/MM/YYYY.

In order to apend both date , i need to make both date to dd/mm/yyyy.

 

when i try to change the date format for GL_I , i get into error row on date.
