Syntax

H17{N/T, CCYYMMDD}

Description

This is the date of the payment. When end of month procedures are executed and the period is closed the employee transaction file is tagged with the date of the payment. This is that date.

Parameters

N/T
A text parameter that can be omitted (it defaults to "N").
N
Numeric result. This is the number of days since the first of January 1980. This is most commonly used for sorting purposes.
T
Text result. This is the date formatted for display, e.g. '01/01/2004'. You can optionally use the next parameter to control the exact format.
CCYYMMDD
A text parameter that can be omitted (it defaults to "DD/MM/CCYY").
When the previous parameter is 'T', this parameter can be used to control the exact format. The following four values can be combined in any order, with separating characters if required.
DD
Day (01 to 31).
MM
Month (01 to 12).
CC
Century (19 or 20).
YY
Year (00 to 99).
DD/MM/CCYY
Same as the default.
MM/DD/CCYY
Output in USA format.
CCYYMMDD
Use for sorting into date order (would have the same effect as using the numeric result).
CCYYMM
Use for grouping by month.


Returns

A text or numeric (depending on the parameters) value whose typical size is 10 characters.
