One or more (comma or space delimited) date values, one or more ranges of date values, or any combination of both.

Description

Records are selected by last modification date with this element. If the plate identifier of a record is in the range of included modification dates (specified by the value of the include attribute), the record becomes part of the set of records to be processed.

If no inclusion criteria are specified, records are selected for inclusion independent of the modification date. This is equivalent to not specifying an MODIFY element.

The date notation for expressing constant date values is the standard DFdiscover notation, yy/mm/dd, which means two-digit year of century, two-digit month of year, and two-digit day of month. The word today may appear in the selection criteria, and has the effect of selecting records last modified on todays date.
