| Syntax | Dmy(DaysExpression, MonthsExpression, YearsExpression) |
| Action | [Function] Returns a date. |
| Scope | Usable anywhere. |
| Notes | This function returns a date value, based on DaysExpression, MonthsExpression and YearsExpression. The arguments default to numbers, but Equinox will also accept dates. If you do use a date, then the relevant part is used. Equinox corrects invalid argument to the nearest legal value. You may also use the wildcard date '?-?-?' as an argument. If the year is specified as a two digit number, the value in the system workarea SysCentury is added to arrive at the year. |

| Example | This example sets EventDate to 14th July 1789. EventDate = Dmy(14, 7, 1789) The next example sets NextDate to be the 12th of the current month. The month and the year are taken from the current date. NextDate = Dmy(12, Today, Today) In this last example, paydate is assigned the last day of the next month. First one month is added to today and the result assigned to paydate; this copes with a wrap-around to the next year. The day is then set to 31 and the function automatically assigns the closest valid day. paydate = Dmyadd(Today, , 1) |
