General Notes For Rules 1 and 2 in particular, organisations may wish to specify allowable ranges for values of current date and dates to be manipulated. The ranges may relate to one or more of the feasible life span of equipment or products or the span of dates required to be represented by the organisation's business processes. Tests for specifically critical dates may also be added (e.g. for leap years, end of year, etc.). Organisations may wish to append additional material in support of local requirements. Where the term century is used, clear distinction should be made between the "value" denoting the century (e.g. 20th) and its representation in dates (e.g. 19xx); similarly 21st and 20xx. |
![]() RULE 4: THE 29TH OF FEBRUARY 2000 WILL DEFINITELY EXIST. THESE RULES DO NOT PREVENT YOU FROM USING CORRECT DATES ANY WAY YOU LIKE. |
