What does CCYYMMDD date format mean?

Question

I want to speak to a soap service that has a date parameter which is required to be the CCYYMMDD format.

What is its definition?

Answer 1

It's just another way of writing yyyyMMdd.

The CC part represents the century, while YY is the two-digit year.

So instead of having year 2014, you can use century 21, year 14

yyyy      CC YY
2014  ->  21 14
