GRE2DAY&  PowerBASIC  Function

         

GRE2DAY& function evaluates to the absolute day number that corresponds to the Gregorian date specified as its parameter.  Date should be specified in one of the formats MM-DD-YY or MM-DD-CCYY and should be a valid date in Gregorian calendar.  If parameter doesn't represent a valid date, 0 (zero) is returned instead of absolute day number.  If century is omitted, the current century is assumed.  Date field delimiters are expected to be in the fixed positions 3 and 5; values of delimiters are insignificant.  If parameter is empty, absolute day number is returned for the current date.

Note:  Program doesn't take into account pre-Gregorian (Julian) calendar differences and date adjustment made on 09/14/1752 — when England and its colonies switched from Julian calendar to currently used Gregorian. Since GRE2DAY& function is intended for the modern-time date calculations, those factors are insignificant.

Direct dependency:

GRE2JUL$ Convert Gregorian date into Julian date format

Indirect dependencies:

DIGITAL% Check character string for digital value (predicate)
LEAP% Check year for leap value (predicate)
VALDGRE% Check date for valid Gregorian value (predicate)

      ' Type ---------------------------------------------------------------------

      '    Function

      ' Description --------------------------------------------------------------

      '    GRE2DAY& function converts Gregorian date into absolute day number.

      ' Declaration --------------------------------------------------------------

      '    DECLARE FUNCTION GRE2DAY&(Greg.Date$)

      ' Parameter ----------------------------------------------------------------

      '    Greg.Date$  - Gregorian date in the form of MM-DD-YY or MM-DD-CCYY

      ' Value --------------------------------------------------------------------

      '    If specified Gregorian date is either EMPTY or valid, i.e.:
      '       it has length either of 8 or 10 characters and
      '       it is DIGITAL (with the exception of date field delimiters) and
      '       month value lies within 1-12 and
      '       day number lies within range valid for the specified month
      '       (considering specified year leap characteristic when
      '       evaluating day range for February),
      '       then absolute day number for specified Gregorian date is returned
      '            to the point of function invocation
      '       else 0 (zero) is returned to the point of invocation.

      ' Notes --------------------------------------------------------------------

      '  - Delimiters of parameter date fields are irrelevant and can be any
      '    symbols.  Date fields are extracted from fixed positions.

      '  - EMPTY date is considered to be a valid one, and absolute A.D. day
      '    number is returned for the CURRENT date (default).

      '  - Program doesn't take into account pre-Gregorian (Julian)calendar
      '    differences and date adjustment made on 09/14/1752 - when England
      '    and its colonies switched from Julian calendar to currently used
      '    Gregorian.  Since program is intended for the modern-time date
      '    calculations, those factors are insignificant.
