CenturyBreak Property, SftMaskCalendar Object

Defines the year where a higher 2-digit year indicates the previous century.

Syntax

Get

Put

object

A SftMaskCalendar object.

Year

Defines the year where a higher 2-digit year indicates the previous century. This value is between -1 and 99. If -1 is specified, the break is derived from the current date: 2-digit years greater than the start of the current decade plus 30 are assumed to be in the prior century (for example, 51 through 99 in the year 2026).

Comments

The CenturyBreak property defines the year where a higher 2-digit year indicates the previous century.

This value is used when a date without century is entered (i.e., a two digit year). The correct century is determined based on the CenturyBreak property. Any two digit year greater than or equal to the CenturyBreak value is assumed to be in the prior century.
