Date

The Date generator type supports the following constructors:

  • (Date date)

  • (Date date, Boolean skip.current.year)

  • (Number year)

  • (Number year, Number month)

  • (Number year, Number month, Boolean skip.current.year)

  • (Number year, Number month, Number day)

  • (Number year, Number month, Number day, Boolean skip.current.year)

The five parameters are:

  • Date—Any Date object from which to extract the date to be played back.

  • Skip.current.year—If set to true, the year does not play back if it is the same as the current year.

  • Year—The year of the date to be played back. This year must be specified in full (for example, 2005).

Note

Any number given is played, so it is the responsibility of the caller to ensure that the specified year is valid.

  • Month—The month of the date to be played back. Valid values range from 1 to 12, where 1 represents January and 12 represents December.

  • Day—The day of the date to be played back. Valid values range from 1 to 31 and are validated at run time based on the specified month and year.
