How to build a date from its constituent parts?

By | February 28, 2017

Generally we may come across a situation in Sage X3 to build a date from its constituent parts. gdat$ is the function to built a Date from its constituent parts i.e. small component part.

Syntax:-

gdat$( Day,Month,Year )

Parameters:-

Day: Numerical integer expression for the value of the day.

Month: Numerical integer expression for the value of the month.

Year: Numerical integer expression for the value of the year.1600<= Year       <=9999 or 0 .The year may be expressed as 4 digits or as 2.

Description:-

gdat$ is used to calculate a date from its 3 components. If it gives a number for the month that is negative or more than 12, the month is recalculated with modulo 12 and the correction made for the year. The same applies for a day number that is negative or greater than the number of days in the current month.

Example

Code:-

Local Date da

Local integer d:d = day(date$)+1

Local integer m:m=month(date$)+1

Local integer y:y=12

da = gdat$(d,m,y)

infbox num$(da)

Output:-

date from constituent parts

Note:- Here the result we get is of Data type date.
