[ncl-talk] Help on time units qualifiers

[Mateus da Silva Teixeira]

Hi,

I'm testing date functions and noted that the usage of different units
qualifiers: "since", "after", "from" and "ref" has no impact on results
from cd_inv_calendar_function(). See my example below:








*dataTeste = cd_inv_calendar( 2018, 08, 21, 09, 30, 0, "days since
0001-01-01 00:00:00", 0 )print( dataTeste+"  <=== since" )dataTeste =
cd_inv_calendar( 2018, 08, 21, 09, 30, 0, "days after 0001-01-01 00:00:00",
0 )print( dataTeste+"  <=== after" )dataTeste = cd_inv_calendar( 2018, 08,
21, 09, 30, 0, "days from 0001-01-01 00:00:00", 0 )print( dataTeste+"  <===
from" )dataTeste = cd_inv_calendar( 2018, 08, 21, 09, 30, 0, "days ref
0001-01-01 00:00:00", 0 )print( dataTeste+"  <=== ref" )*

and the output:

(0)    736928.3958333334  <=== since
(0)    736928.3958333334  <=== after
(0)    736928.3958333334  <=== from
(0)    736928.3958333334  <=== ref

Is it correct?

If yes, what the purpose of these units qualifiers?

Thank you!

Mateus
