yy |
Year. Last two digits of the year. |
Note: If the last two digits in the specified year are a number less than 56, INCONTROL presumes that the year is in the 21st century. For example, if yy=15, the year 2015 would be presumed. Otherwise, INCONTROL presumes that the year is in the 20th century. For example, if yy=80, the year 1980 would be presumed. |

yyyy |
Year. 4-digit year |
Whether a field holds a 4-character date (month and day), a 6-character date (month, day and 2-digit year) or an 8-character date (month, day and 4-digit year) depends on the field. However, the format of the 4-character, 6-character or 8-character date depends on the installation-defined date standard.
INCONTROL products support three date standards for Gregorian dates. Each standard has a 4-character format, a 6-character format, and an 8-character format. Only one Gregorian date standard is defined at any site.
These supported Gregorian date standards are described in Table 8.
