Documentation

Definition

The calendar container offers the option of providing or returning any additional information (max. 20 characters) during the technical calendar conversion.

Use

Some calendar types do not allow you to enter dates in a typical format (day/month/year). The container provides a transfer option for calendar conversions.

Dependencies

Example

In the Japanese calendar, years are counted after the term of office of Tenno. The year 1998 Anno Domini therefore corresponds to "Heisei 10". The prefix "Heisei" is saved in the container field.
