Implementation details

Date :: Date ( odaba::Date &cDate )

The constructor creates a copy from the time value passed in cDate .
- cDate - Date
  The date contains day, month and year, but not the time.

Create date value from day, month and year
Date :: Date ( int32 iDay, int32 iMonth, int32 iYear )

The function creates an ODABA date for the day, month and year passed in iDay , iMonth and iYear .
- iDay - Day
  Day of the month according to the Gregorian Calendar.
- iMonth - Month
  Month of the year according to the Gregorian Calendar.
- iYear - Year

The function initializes date to the current date.

Set date value from string
Date :: Date ( odaba::String &sDate )
The function sets the date value from the string date passed in sDate . When no date format has been set, the date format is detected automatically from string value as follows:
- contains '.' - DD.MM.YYYY or DD.MM.YY
- contains '/' - MM/DD/YYYY or MM/DD/YY
- contains '-' - YYYY-MM-DD or YY-MM-DD
- else - YYYYMMDD or YYMMDD
- sDate - Date value in string format
  Date values can be passed in different ways as string value:
  
  Standard: yyyy-mm-dd or yyyymmdd
  
  English: mm/dd/yyyy
  
  German: dd.mm.yyyy
  
  The type of date is determined from the separator used.

- cValue - Value handle
  A value handle refers to a (usually) opened value. Invalid value handles may cause an exception.
