Detailed Description

Custom DATE data type designed to convert FILEMAN format (CYYMMDD) dates.

This data type projects proper DATE meta-data to DISPLAY and ODBC client software. It does not require any extra routines to function

Member Function Documentation

IsValid()

_.Library.Status IsValid (   _, _.Library.RawString  val  )

static

Checks for Invalid format, expects FILEMAN format DATE (CYYMMDD).

Can handle data on disk in the Fileman TimeStamp format.

LogicalToDisplay()

_.Library.String LogicalToDisplay ( _.Library.FilemanDate  Arg1 )

static

Converts FILEMAN format DATE (CYYMMDD) to DISPLAY format DATE (DD/MM/YYYY).

Can handle data on disk in the Fileman TimeStamp format.

LogicalToOdbc()

_.Library.String LogicalToOdbc ( _.Library.FilemanDate  Arg1 )

static

Converts FILEMAN format DATE (CYYMMDD) to ODBC format DATE (YYYY-MM-DD).

Can handle data on disk in the Fileman TimeStamp format.

STRICTDATA

STRICTDATA = None

static

1/0 flag which determines if the LogicalToFormat conversions will process imprecise logical FileMan Date values

Default setting is STRICTDATA=0 Parameter affects the generation of the LogicalToDisplay and LogicalToOdbc methods When STRICTDATA=1, imprecise or invalid dates will not be changed to a valid FileMan Date value. For example, if Logical FileMan Date value is 31110, when STRICTDATA=0 this will translate to 3111001 (Sept 01, 2011). If STRICTDATA=1, this transformation will not take place and the invalid/imprecise Logical value will get an error when converted to Display or Odbc format.
