I just want to make sure I understand the situation correctly.
The way I see it, I have two choices when it comes to dates.
EITHER:
1) Store all my dates as DateType and subtract or add 1904
to the year as required (To display the date or make use of the
DateToASCII() function) and use DateToDays to do algebraic
operations on dates.
OE
2) Store all my dates as DateTime types (with the full four digit year)
BUT remember to do the "1904 dance" when using the DateToDays
function.
I *think* that if there were another method (like a DateTimeToSeconds()
function or a DateTimeToDays() function) that would allow for easy manipulation
of dates (comparisons, additions etc), I could avoid the annoying DateType
completely... but as far as I can see.... Bupkiss! (nuttin!)
Am I missing something?
