C_DATE_R module routines

C_DATE_R module routines

C_DATE_R.C - Convert and validate DATE Routines.

Date formats supported are MM/DD/YY, European DD/MM/YY, and YYMMDD strings, YYMMDD floats and UINT julians. There are conversion routines to do any translation. The julian conversion routines are in the julian module J_DATE_R.C.

Function	validate_date_field
Include file	C_DATE_R.H
Prototype	int validate_date_field( char *date_field )
Remarks	Front-end to validate_MM_DD_YY. This routine supports lazy user input, given MM/DD the routine will add the current year. The year is saved and carried over from call to call so you could enter 11/12/91 then 11/13 and have 91 added on. The modified str is then checked by validate_MM_DD_YY.

Function	validate_MM_DD_YY
Include file	C_DATE_R.H
Prototype	int validate_MM_DD_YY( char *date_str )
Remarks	Validate the month and day fields of a MM/DD/YY date str. Return TRUE if valid else FALSE (all INVALID - 2/29/83 \| 14/02/91 \| 10/44/99 ).

Function	cnvt_MM_DD_YY_2_flt
Include file	C_DATE_R.H
Prototype	float cnvt_MM_DD_YY_2_flt( char *date_str )
Remarks	Convert a MM/DD/YY date string into a float of YYMMDD.

Function	cnvt_DD_MM_YY_2_flt
Include file	C_DATE_R.H
Prototype	float cnvt_DD_MM_YY_2_flt( char *date_str )
Remarks	Convert a European style DD/MM/YY date string into a float of YYMMDD.

Function	get_date_substr
Include file	C_DATE_R.H
Prototype	static char get_date_substr( char src , char *dest )
Remarks	Simple worker parse routine for cnvt_MM_DD_YY_2_flt.

Function	cnvt_YYMMDD_flt_2_MM_DD_YY
Include file	C_DATE_R.H
Prototype	char *cnvt_YYMMDD_flt_2_MM_DD_YY( float flt_date )
Remarks	Convert a YYMMDD float into a MM/DD/YY date string.

Function	cnvt_YYMMDD_flt_2_DD_MM_YY
Include file	C_DATE_R.H
Prototype	char *cnvt_YYMMDD_flt_2_DD_MM_YY( float flt_date )
Remarks	Convert a YYMMDD float into a Euro style DD/MM/YY date string.

Function	cnvt_YYMMDD_str_2_flt
Include file	C_DATE_R.H
Prototype	float cnvt_YYMMDD_str_2_flt( char *date_str )
Remarks	Convert a YYMMDD date str into a YYMMDD float.

Function	cnvt_YYMMDD_str_2_MM_DD_YY
Include file	C_DATE_R.H
Prototype	char cnvt_YYMMDD_str_2_MM_DD_YY( char date_str )
Remarks	Convert a YYMMDD date str into a MM/DD/YY date str

Function	cnvt_MM_DD_YY_2_YYMMDD_str
Include file	C_DATE_R.H
Prototype	char cnvt_MM_DD_YY_2_YYMMDD_str( char date_str )
Remarks	Convert a MM/DD/YY date str into a YYMMDD date str

Function	cnvt_YYMMDD_flt_2_YYMMDD_str
Include file	C_DATE_R.H
Prototype	char *cnvt_YYMMDD_flt_2_YYMMDD_str( float flt_date )
Remarks	Convert a YYMMDD float date into a YYMMDD date str

Function	constant_length_date
Include file	C_DATE_R.H
Prototype	char constant_length_date( char date_str )
Remarks	Well not quite any more - expand day and month fields to 2 digits and return the year field un-touched.

Function	get_field_from_YYMMDD_flt
Include file	C_DATE_R.H
Prototype	int get_field_from_YYMMDD_flt( float flt_date , int which_field )
Remarks	Fetch a field from a YYMMDD float style date and return it as an int. This routine is front-ended by 3 macros to fetch each individual field. The macros just need a date as a argument. They are defined in C_DATE_R.H and are get_YY_from_YYMMDD_flt( fd ), get_MM_from_YYMMDD_flt( fd ) and get_DD_from_YYMMDD_flt( fd )..
