SirPro date processing
SirPro uses dates in the following ways:
- To examine the CPU clock (as returned by the STCK hardware instruction) to determine the current date, in case SirPro is under a rental or trial agreement.
- To display the current date, as returned by the TIME SVC, modified by the SYSDATE parameter|SYSDATE]] parameter or the the Sir2000 User Language Tools APPDATE clock, as page headers in various end-user displays.
- To display, and sort by, the last-updated timestamps from the Model 204 Procedure Dictionary
- To keep track of the date and time at which a user issued a
CHECKIN,CHECKOUT,CONFIGURE, orCUTOVERSirLib operation, using the TIME SVC, modified by the SYSDATE parameter or the Sir2000 User Language Tools APPDATE clock.
For headers on pages or rows that occur on printed pages or displayed screens, UL/SPF products generally use a full four-digit year format, although they may display dates with two-digit years in circumstances where the proper century can be inferred from the context.
