Syntax

  #include <nwmisc.h> 
  or 
  #include <nwcalls.h> 
   
  N_EXTERN_LIBRARY (nuint16) NWPackDate ( 
     const NW_DATE N_FAR  *sDate);
  

Pascal Syntax

  #include <nwmisc.inc> 
   
  Procedure NWPackDate 
    (const sDate : pNW_DATE 
  ) : nuint16;
  

Parameters

sDate

(IN) Points to the NW_DATE structure.

Return Values

Returns the packed date upon successful completion.

Remarks

Many functions return dates in a packed format identical to that defined by DOS. The bits are defined as follows:

  0-4   day 
  5-8   month 
  9-15  year minus 1980
  

NWPackDate does no validity checking on the passed information. The programmer should ensure dates are valid before passing them to NWPackDate.
