|

|
|
<div><p>A date value is a character string that represents a date.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>A date value's format is specified by the system value QDATFMT.
|
||
|
|
The length of the date value varies with the format used and whether a separator
|
||
|
|
character is used. For example, if no separator character is used, the length
|
||
|
|
of a date in a Julian format is five characters, and the length of a date
|
||
|
|
in a non-Julian format is six characters. If a separator character is used,
|
||
|
|
the length will be greater.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The system value QDATSEP specifies
|
||
|
|
the optional separator character that can be used when the date is entered.
|
||
|
|
If a separator character is used, the date must be enclosed in apostrophes.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>A
|
||
|
|
date value can be specified for the parameters of type *DATE. A year value
|
||
|
|
equal to or greater than 40 indicates a year from 1940 through 1999. A year
|
||
|
|
value less than 40 indicates a year from 2000 through 2039. </p>
