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 formats are allowed:

CCYYMMDD Century+Year, Month and Day are provided.

CCYYMM__ Century+Year and Month. Day consists of two blank spaces.

CCYY____ Century+Year. Month and Day consist of four blank spaces.

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.

When month is known, it is checked to ensure it falls within range 01...12.

When month and day are known, 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 version 12 or later, then upload with no conversion.

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.
3. If any parts of the date (YYYY, MM, or DD) are 00, 0000, 88, 8888, 99, or 9999, then convert them to blank (no value).
4. If the date is now completely blank, then set the associated date flag to 12 (unknown); otherwise, set the date flag to blank.

If steps 1 and 2 are the only changes made, then don't record them in the audit log.
