Gregorian Dates

Gregorian dates are indicated in the guide by the following symbols:

Table 5 Gregorian Date Formats

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 an 8-character format, a 6-character format and a 4-character format. Only one Gregorian date standard is defined at any site.

These supported Gregorian date standards are described in the chart below.
