<3>
The day component of the date. 1 - 31.Day

The day of the year.DayOfYear

// Decode today's date
Info = SRP_Date("Decode", Date())

// Decode the current UTC date
Info = SRP_Date("Decode", SRP_Date("Today", 1))

// Decode a hard coded date
Info = SRP_Date("Decode", -9519)

// Decode a date that's formatted in a string
