DT

DT — timestamp information for a single execution of DFbatch

Synopsis

Content model

DT ::=
(YY, MM, DD)

Attributes

None.

Description

A DT contains date information, specifically the year (YY), month (MM), and day (DD). This element appears as a child of an HN element and records the current date that the batch was run, or the historical date of a previous execution of the batch.

Processing Expectations

The content model does not allow for the representation of a partial date, and so each of YY, MM, and DD must be present as children.

Parents

These elements contain DT: HN

Children

The following elements occur in DT: YY, MM, DD.

Examples

Example 6.57. A date entry for October 19, 2000

<DT><YY>2000</YY><MM>10</MM><DD>19</DD></DT>
