This cluster is designed to support the creation and manipulation of dates and times within the Gregorian calendar system.
DATE represents dates within the Gregorian calendar (year, month, day).
DATE_AND_WEEK extends DATE to incorporate information about which day of the week is involved (this class is not in the current distribution).
DATE_AND_TIME extends DATE by the inclusion of time information (hour, minute, second).
GREGORIAN_FUNCTIONS contains the values of constants used by the above classes. All the features in this class are private.
SYSTEM_CLOCK reads the date and time from the system clock into an area of memory. The individual values for year, month, day, hour, minute and second can then be accessed. This class is compatible with SPARC SunOS 4.1.3. Other systems may require that this class is rewritten. In the case of a rewrite the following features are required: read, year, month, day, hour, minute, second.
