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

CC means Century (but not as in 20th century)
YY means Year
MM means Month
DD means Day

So for current date: 29/10/2015

• CC : 20

• YY : 15

• MM : 10

• DD : 29
