Date Data Type

  • Article

To store dates without time values, use the Date data type.

Visual FoxPro 5.0 and later supports a strict Date and DateTime format that provides year 2000 compliance. It is recommended that you use strict date formats for all Date and DateTime constants and expressions.

In both Date and DateTime data types, the following rules apply:

  • {00:00:00AM} is equivalent to {12:00:00AM}, Midnight.
  • {00:00:00PM} is equivalent to {12:00:00PM}, Noon.
  • {00:00:00} to {11:59:59} is equivalent to {12:00:00AM} to {11:59:59AM}.
  • {12:00:00} to {23:59:59} is equivalent to {12:00:00PM} to {11:59:59PM}.
