Use

Conversion routine PERI6 is used with six-digit entries for (fiscal year) periods.

Features

The internal format for six-digit periods is YYYYPP (200206, for example, for period 06 of fiscal year 2002). When the external format is converted to the internal format, this checks whether the entries in the INPUT parameter with external date format (separators, order) comply with user settings. The separator ('.'or '/') has to correspond to the date format in the user settings.

Different abbreviated entries are possible and these are converted correctly into the internal format.

Example

For the external date format DD.MM.YYYY in the user settings, the following conversion takes place from external to internal formats:

  1. '12.1999' → '199912'

  2. '1.1999' → '199901'

  3. '12.99' → '199912'

  4. '1.99' → '199901'
