Description

TryEncodeDateMonthWeek calculates the TDateTime value for the date specified by the AYear, AMonth, AWeekOfMonth, and ADayOfWeek parameters.

AYear is the year. It can be any value between 1 and 9999 (inclusive).

AMonth is the year. It can be any value between 1 and 12 (inclusive).

AWeekOfMonth is the week within that month, where 1 is the first week that includes four or more days. Note that if the first calendar day of the month is a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, then those three days must be expressed using AMonth set to the previous month and AWeekOfMonth set to the number of weeks in the previous month. Similarly, if the last calendar day of the month is a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, then those three days are expressed with AMonth set to the following month and AWeekOfMonth set to 1.

ADayOfWeek is the day of the week, where 1 Monday, 2 is Tuesday, and so on.

AValue returns the specified date as a TDateTime value. The time portion of AValue is 0 (Midnight at the start of the specified day).

TryEncodeDateMonthWeek returns true if AYear, AMonth, AWeekOfMonth, and ADayOfWeek represent a valid date, and false if any of these parameters are not in the valid range.

Note: The definitions for AWeekOfYear and ADayOfWeek follow the ISO 8601 standard.

Tip: To make the ADayOfWeek value more readable, use the Day of week constants.
