LENGTH

ALLOWABLE VALUES

A valid, complete date in YYYYMMDD.

General Date Editing Rules:

Date fields are recorded in the D1 date format of year, month, day (CCYYMMDD). Month and day must have leading zeros for values 01...09.

The following date format is allowed:

CCYYMMDD Century+Year, Month and Day are provided.

Dates are checked first to ensure they conform to one of these formats, then for errors in the components. Checking stops on the first non-valid situation.

Range checking:

Lowest allowed value:  January 1, 1850 (or in D1 format: 18500101)

Highest allowed value: current system date

The month is checked to ensure it falls within range 01...12.

The day is checked to ensure it falls within range for that specific month. Accommodation is made for leap years.

SOURCE

If the record version is NAACCR version 12 (120 in original new case) or later, then upload the date with no conversion.

Otherwise, if the record version is earlier than 12, then perform the following conversions in this order:

  1. Right-justify and zero-fill the date to 8 digits.

  2. Convert MMDDYYYY to YYYYMMDD.

Do not record changes in the audit log.

UPDATE

None: auto-generated when case was originally transmitted
