Michael Beckerle updated DAFFODIL-488:
--------------------------------------
Issue Type: Bug (was: Wish)
> Odd Behavior with 'YYYY' year formatting
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: DAFFODIL-488
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-488
> Project: Daffodil
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Back End, ICU
> Reporter: Jessie Chab
> Priority: Minor
>
> I've noticed that if you use 'YYYY' instead of 'yyyy', the year is parsed as
> one less than the specified year, and the other values are not parsed
> correctly.
> Response from Steve:
> Regarding the odd output of YYYY: I'm not exactly sure why this doesn't work,
> but I'm not surprised. From what I can tell, YYYY is the year part of the ISO
> Week Date. This uses a modified gregorian calendar, so I'm not surprised
> you're getting odd results. However, I've tried creating a pattern that uses
> the ISO Week Date formatting symbols ("YYYY-'W'ww-e") and try to parse the
> examples from the wiki page. I get dates similar to the examples, but they
> are usually off by a few days. So I'm not sure what's wrong. I don't think
> this is a blocker for Spin 7, so please create a new bug for the YYYY issue,
> and we'll fix it as we find time.
