This subject was already discussed here...
Héhé... on en a déjà causé ici ;-)

In short: this seems to affect only OS X in Europe during the daylight
saving period
On voit le "bug" uniquement en heure d'été !

It is not clear wether it is a Revolution "feature" / or it is a Mac OS
X bug (discussion on MacFixIt)

Date Items

[Alain Djemaa]

Bonjour tout le monde.
(Hello, everybody and not "Hello, World" !)

I'm beginning to learn Transcript.
I'm not computer scientist but a needing tools amateur.

So, I try like a child.

Recently, I tried date format, like this, in the message box :

get the internet date
put it into laDate
convert it to dateItems
put "LA DATE" && laDate && "LES ITEMS" && it

The results :

LA DATE Thu, 8 Apr 2004 16:24:34 +0100 LES ITEMS 2004,4,8,17,24,34,5

Let's compare :
16:24 and ...,17,24,...

So, it's possible to correct by subtracting 1 for obtaining the true item,
but it's not very elegant, is it ?

Have I to set a parameter before using dates ?

Merci beaucoup.

Alain.

Yves,

Check out the "centuryCutoff" property... perhaps that will do what you
want.

A command I didn't know and which does exactly what I hoped.

Thanks.

;-)

If you set the centuryCutoff to 02 (or any number less than 27), you will
get the correct result of 1927. I think this is a bug (if you have 4-digit
years turned on then the system date should respect them and not ignore the
century), but this will work around it and avoid making people 100 years
too young.

How can I get the good answer !


Salut Yves!

Create the dateItem string yourself from the birth date:

get birthYear&comma&birthMonth&comma&birthDay&",0,0,0,0"

Assuming birthYear includes the century, that's it.

If you need the correct day of week in item seven,

convert it to dateItems

following the first statement will do the job.

Date Items

[Yves Coppé]

Hi,


I experiment a strange behavior

I use a French system Mac OS X 10.1.5



in continental date system, "05/06/1927" =
june the fifth of 1927

When I type the following code :

set useSystemDate to true
put "05/06/1927" into startDate
convert startDate to dateitems
set useSystemDate to false
answer startDate


the answer is "2027,06,05,0,0,7"
I watch "1927,06,05,0,0,7"

so the person with this birthdate is 100 years younger (not yet born !!)
Fine 

How can I get the good answer !

Any idea ???

Thanks for your help
