Writes date values in the form <yy>yyqr or
<yy>yy-qr, where the x
in the format name is a character that represents the special character that
separates the year and the quarter or the year, which can be a hyphen (-),
period (.), blank character, slash (/), colon (:), or no separator; the year
can be either 2 or 4 digits and qr is the quarter of the year

x
-
identifies a separator or specifies that
no separator appear between the year and the quarter. Valid values for x are:
-
C
-
separates with a colon
-
D
-
separates with a dash
-
N
-
indicates no separator
-
P
-
separates with a period
-
S
-
separates with a forward slash.
-
w
-
specifies the width of the output field.
| Default: |
8 |
| Range: |
6-32 |
| Interaction: |
When x
is set to N, no separator is specified. The width
range is then 5-32, and the default changes to 7. |
| Interaction: |
When the value of w is too small to write a four-digit year, the date appears
with only the last two digits of the year. |

<yy>yyxqr,

-
x
-
is a specified separator.
-
qr
-
is a roman numeral (I, II, III, or IV) that
represents the quarter of the year.
