RWDate is deprecated and is no longer supported. Please be aware that this class may be removed from the product in the future. Please use RWDateTime instead.
See the SourcePro C++ API Reference Guide for a complete description of RWDate. Refer to Section 3.8 for information about migrating to RWDateTime.
RWDate is unable to store dates prior to 1 Jan 1901.
You can construct an RWDate in several ways:
With the current date:
RWDate d;
|
This is the default constructor for RWDate. Because this method of construction must check the system date each time it creates an instance of an RWDate, constructing a large array of RWDate can be very slow. You should consider using RWDateTime in such cases.
For a given day of the month (1-31), month number (1-12) and year. Although the class supports 2-digit year specifiers, we urge you to use the 4-digit variety if possible to avoid confusion:
RWDate d1(1, 24, 2001) // 1/24/2001
RWDate d2(1, 24, 01) // 1/24/1901 (oops!)
|
Using locale-specific strings. If you do nothing, a default locale using United States conventions and names is applied:
RWDate d1(10, "June", 2001); // 6/10/2001 |
Using French month names. Assuming your system supports a French locale, you could construct an RWDate with the following:
RWDate d2("10 Juin 2025") // 6/10/2025
|
For detailed examples on using locales, see Chapter 7.
Note that the default format for an RWDateTime on many systems and in many locales contains only a two-digit year. You can enforce the use of a four-digit year by defining the build macro RW_CENTURY_REQD in RCB when building the libraries. See Section 3.5.1, "About Two or Four Digit Years," in the section on RWDateTime.
