Details

The general form of a Taiwanese date is yyyymmdd, where

yyyy

is an integer that represents the year.

mm

is an integer from 01 through 12 that represents the month.

dd

is an integer from 01 through 31 that represents the day of the month.

The Taiwanese calendar uses 1912 as the base year (01/01/01 is January , 1912). Dates prior to 1912 are not valid. Year values do not roll around after 100 years; instead, they continue to increase.

You can separate the year, month, and day values with any delimiters, such as blanks, slashes, or dashes, that are permitted by the YYMMDDw. informat. If delimiters are used, place them between all the values. If you omit delimiters, be sure to use a leading zero for days or months less than 10.
