dateref

(cotinued)

Note: Before STAT was introduced, the date 0101 was recommended to be used in conditions that were not date-dependent. Unlike 0101, STAT is not a date, and it operates differently. Always use STAT when defining conditions that are not date-dependent.

• %%xx – an AutoEdit symbol
  The symbol can be assigned by a DO SET command in the rule, or it can be a Global variable.
