Summary:
The year 2000 poses some problems for usage of dates, so date functionality in Citect has been expanded to accommodate these problems. 

Solution:

Changes to Cicode Functions:

  • Date() - Now has an additional mode (mode 9) which returns extended date format (dd/mm/yyyy).
  • StrToDate() - Now will convert extended date format to a date.
  • TimeToStr() - Now has an additional mode (mode 9) which returns extended date format.
  • DateYear() - Now accepts a mode argument. Mode 0 returns short year (yy), Mode 1 returns full year (yyyy).
