What is the correct way to store dates in Common Lisp? The closest thing I found for an answer is this , which doesn't actually cut it for me.

If you want to keep the date converted to a string, you can use the following:

(multiple-value-bind
  (s m h d mm y dw dst-p tz) (get-decoded-time)
     (format nil "~D\/~D\/~D" date month year))
