year(theDate[,value])
Alternatively, use Date.year.
year(theDate)
returns the year from the theDate date/time expression, which may simply be a date-type attribute value.
year(theDate,value)
creates a new date based on the theDate date/time expression, but in which the year is value. theDate is not changed - unless theDate is an attribute and the attribute is re-setting itself:
$MyDateA = year($MyDate,2011) $MyDate is unaltered
$MyDate = year($MyDate,2011) $MyDate is changed
Examples. If $MyDate is July 4,2009, then
$MyDate=hour($MyDate,2011)
will change $MyDate to July 4, 2011.
