public final class PwFormatDate
extends AbstractAccpacFormulaFunction

PwFormatDate (in the C version the "pw" is lower-case) converts a Sage ERP Accpac date stored as a YYYYMMDD integer into a Crystal Reports date object.

The Crystal arguments to this function are:

1. The YYYYMMDD integer date to convert

A null date (represented by 0) is converted to the Crystal Reports date object that has the special internal value of DateValue.nullCRDate. This is similar to the behavior of the C UFL. Any other invalid date causes an IllegalArgumentException. This differs from the behavior of the C UFL in that we now have the ability to throw an exception instead of just quietly switching the invalid date to a null date (which is the behavior of Crystal's CRYearMonthDayToDate, which was called by the C UFL).
