It seems X12 and EDIFACT are fairly equivalent regarding dates.
An example of the newer X12 standards for dates would be Data Element 1250
and how it defines the next element; 1251 (The actual date being reported).
Some of the valid values for DE1250 are:
CC - First two digits of the year expressed in the format CCYY (length of 2)
CM - Date in Format CCYYMM (length of 6)
CY - Year Expressed in Format CCYY (length of 4)
D6 - Complete Date expressed in the format YYMMDD (length of 6)
D8 - Complete Date expressed in the format CCYYMMDD (length of 8)
DB - Date Expressed in Format MMDDCYY
DD - Day of Month in Numeric Format (length of 2)
DT - Date and Time Expressed in Format CCYYMMDDHHMM (length of 12)
MD - Month of Year and Day of Month in Format MMDD (length of 4)
MM - Month of Year in Numeric Format (length of 2)
TM - Time Expressed in Format HHMM (length of 4)
TS - Time Expressed in Format HHMMSS (length of 6)
YM - Year and Month Expressed in Format YYMM (length of 4)
YY - Last two digits of Year Expressed in Format CCYY (length of 2)
RD2 - Range of Years Expressed in Format YY-YY (length of 5)
RD4 - Range of Years Expressed in Format CCYY-CCYY (length of 9)
RD5 - Range of Years and Months Expressed in Format CCYYMM-CCYYMM (length of
13)
RD6 - Range of Dates Expressed in Format YYMMDD-YYMMDD (length of 13)
RD8 - Range of Dates Expressed in Format CCYYMMDD-CCYYMMDD (length of 17)
RDM - Range of Dates Expressed in Format YYMMDD-MMDD (length of 11)
RDT - Range of Date and Time, Expressed in Format CCYYMMDDHHMM-CCYYMMDDHHMM
(length of 25)
RMD - Range of Months and Days Expressed in format MMDD-MMDD (length of 9)
RTM - Range of Time Expressed in Format HHMM-HHMM (length of 9)
DE1251 is a 35 byte alpha-numeric field.
So, for Jaime, "proper" is whatever the partners agree to, systems can
handle or legislation mandates.

Unless you have a snarling 800lb gorilla (love the imagery), yes, that's the
X12 standard. EDIFACT allows you to use several different formats depending
on the qualifier associated with the date.

A quick one.
What is the proper format for dates for 6 and 8 digit dates ?
Is it YYMMDD and CCYYMMDD?
Thanks,
