Date Representation

Date

There are three date object types available for displaying a date. These each take over the representation of one of the following date specifications:

date	Examples	Object type name
Current date	"27.1.1997", "5 May"	CX_DATE
Date period	"20.1.97 - 27.1.97", "1st calendar week 1997"	CX_SPAN_DATE
Periodic date	"Sundays and holidays"	: : : CX_PERIODIC_DATE

Note: In many other systems, date and time are often managed in a single object. In ClassiX® this does not happen, as different time and date objects are provided. From these objects a time can be defined by any combination. This is managed with the class CX_DATETIME.
