New page

DATE(mask) can be used as an [[INPUT FIELDS]] specification as of 4.3.

10 INPUT FIELDS “row, col, DATE(mask),UH” : date-variable

Special keyboard processing:
*Punctuation (commas, colons, slashes, semicolons, and dashes) is skipped during entry, similar to PIC.
*Insert and delete are supported within subfields that are delineated by punctuation.
*Copy includes punctuation.
*Cut is Copy with redisplay of zero date.
*Paste causes BR to translate the date to [[DAYS]] format and then display the date. Excel and OpenOffice Calc application formats are supported.
*If a string is pasted, it is first converted to DAYS using the provided mask.
*If a zero DAYS value is displayed then Month, M3, Day and D3 mask positions contain dashes.
