Documentation

Definition

The field is used for storing multiple key dates that can be defined if the frequency category is periodic and the repetition unit is months or weeks. (There are no key dates if the repetition unit is days.)

The field is used for storing the key dates to the database and does not appear on the interface.

Use

The field has 40 positions, each of which stands for a day, although positions 32 to 40 are not used.

The positions have different meanings dependent on the chosen repetition unit:

  • Months:
    Positions 1 to 31 stand for (a maximum of) 31 calendar days in a month.
  • Weeks:
    Positions 1 to 7 stand for the seven days of the week, 1 being for Monday and 7 for Sunday, which means that each week begins on Monday and ends on Sunday.

The following applies for each position: If the position is blank (SPACE), it is not a key date. If the position contains X, it is a key date.

Dependencies

Example

The repetition unit is months, and positions 1, 11 and 21 of the field all contain X:
The key dates are 1st, 11th and 21st day of each month.

The repetition unit is weeks, and positions 1 and 4 contain X:
The key dates are Monday (= first day of each week) and Thursday (= fourth day of each week).
