datedate (variable)
A date (YYYYMMDD or YYMMDD)
Declared as: long
Description:
A date in either the form YYYYMMDD or YYMMDD where Y is a year digit, M is a month digit, and D is a day digit. Most routines in the TIPS library do not use dates in this form; rather, they use dates as three separate variables representing a month, day, and year, respectively. The routine breakup_date can be used to convert a date in the form YYYYMMDD or YYMMDD into three separate month, day, and year variables.
Valid values:
Any legitimate date with a 4 digit or 2 digit year.
