ABSTRACT

UNISPOOL date format

DESCRIPTION

HH::Unispool::Config::DateFormat contains UNISPOOL date format information.

CONSTRUCTOR

new(OPT_HASH_REF)

Creates a new HH::Unispool::Config::DateFormat object. OPT_HASH_REF is a hash reference used to pass initialization options. OPT_HASH_REF is mandatory. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown.

Options for OPT_HASH_REF may include:

date_format

Passed to set_date_format(). Mandatory option. Defaults to 'DD/MM/YY'.

METHODS

diff(TO)

Finds differences between two objects. In diff terms, the object is the from object and the specified TO parameter the to object. TO is a reference to an identical object class. Returns an empty string if no difference found and a difference descritpion string otherwise. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown.

get_date_format()

Returns the format in which UNISPOOL will show and accept date information.

set_date_format(VALUE)

Set the format in which UNISPOOL will show and accept date information. VALUE is the value. Default value at initialization is DD/MM/YY. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown.

VALUE must be a one of:

DD/MM/YY

DD/MMM/YY

MM/DD/YY

YY/MM/DD
