3.6 RWDate (deprecated)
NOTE -- 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 Essential Tools Module Reference Guide for a complete description of RWDate. Refer to Section 3.8 for information about migrating to RWDateTime.
NOTE -- 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 8.
