Where a command provides for a date range to be entered, the date range can be entered in one of the following formats, where bbbb is the base date and llll is the limit date:

 

bbbb, where bbbb is a valid date (see Date Format).  This format indicates all dates = the bbbb date.

 

bbbb-llll, where bbbb and llll are valid dates (see Date Format).  This format indicates all dates >= the bbbb date and <= the llll date.  For example, "01/01/98-01/31/98" indicates the first 31 days of 1998.

 

*-llll, where llll is a valid date (see Date Format).  This format indicates all dates <= the llll date.  For example, "*-06/30/98" indicates all dates through June 30, 1998.

 

bbbb-*, where bbbb is a valid date (see Date Format).  This format indicates all dates >= the bbbb date.  For example, "04/30/98-*" indicates all dates on or after April 30, 1998.

 

*.  This format indicates all dates.
