RE: Date

Ashok

Yes'Ive created the
<xsd:pattern
value="((2[0-9][0-9][0-9])|(1[0-9][0-9][0-9]))((0[0-9])|(1[0-2]))(([0-2][1-9
])|(3[0-1]))"/>

but to check all 31-30 month or febuary  thats more complicated thats why i
would like to use standard xsd:dated format and use it with CCYYMMDD format
instead of CCYY-MM-DD.

Martin:
The schema for your format is not difficult to write but before that
The CCYYMMDD format should allow an optional negative sign and five
characters in the CCYY format.

To write the schema, you would first create a simple type that restricts
"string" with a pattern corresponding to the format discussed above.
This pattern should, as far as possible only allow legal date values
i.e. the first D in the DD field should allow only 0,1,2 or 3.  The
bigger problem is whether you want to disallow February 30 and November
31 with a pattern.

All the best, Ashok

Hello Tadeusz,

The unique format was chosen to make it very easy to exchange data.
If you need to markup some actual text in another format, or you
otherwise want to keep another format, I suggest you use something
like

<date value='CCYY-MM-DD'>CCYYMMDD</date>

Regards,   Martin.

P.S.: If somebody can write a schema for the above fragment,
       we'll probably add it (in one form or another) to the
       type library.
