year(aDate[, yearsNum])
Alternatively, use Date.year.
year(aDate)
returns the year from the theDate date/time expression:
$MyNumber = year($MyDate);
year(aDate,value)
creates a new date based on the theDate date/time expression, but in which the year is yearsNum. aDate 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.
