Decodes a date into a dynamic array of information about that date.
Info = SRP_Date("Decode", Date)
Returns
An @FM delimited array of information about the date. See Remarks.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Date | A date in OI internal format. (REQUIRED) |
Remarks
The "Decode" service breaks down an OI date into an @FM delimited array of information about the date. The structure of the returned array is as follows:
| Field | Description | See Also |
|---|---|---|
<1> | The year component of the date. | Year |
<2> | The month component of the date. 1 - 12. | Month |
<3> | The day component of the date. 1 - 31. | Day |
<4> | The day of the year. | DayOfYear |
<5> | The day of the week. 1 = Monday, 7 = Sunday. | DayOfWeek |
For example, if the OI date represents March 30, 1978, the result would be:
1978:@FM:3:@FM:30:@FM:89:@FM:4
Examples
// 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
Date = SRP_Date("Parse", "Thursday, March 30, 1978", "DDD, MMMM D, YYYY")
Info = SRP_Date("Decode", Date)
