Special Dates definition
Special Dates means dates used by programmers to create exceptions where no date could be determined as specified to serve as end-of-file indicators or to facilitate sort routines (e.g. 01/2/99 or 09/09/99). For example, such dates were generally used when the date is a mandatory field in a database, but could not be determined or specified, and which, when such date actually occurs, may cause computational errors.
Special Dates as used herein, means dates used by programmers to create exceptions where no date could be determined as specified to serve as end-of-file indicators or to facilitate sort routines.
