IFAIK, ISO 8601 defines this, there is NO ambiguity. But what is good lenient behavior? I'd say only the middle choice, 2001123 is simply missing a 0 before the 3. Only the last field is allowed to be too short. FWIW you can't build any such format without separators with a SimpleDateFormat. -Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
