Date component variables (sys.Day, sys.Month, sys.Year)ΒΆ

sys.Day,,u1

Day

sys.Month,,u1

Month

sys.Year,,u2

Year

These three variables were required by the encdate and decdate commands in Sculptor 2, containing the day, month and year components extracted from or encoded into a date type field. These commands have become functions in later versions of Sculptor. The variables are still used in code converted from Sculptor 2, and are therefore still included in the language for upward compatibility only. They are obsolescent and should not be used in new programs.
