8.2.3.3   SpecialDates

The SpecialDates condition compares the current date against a list of dates. This condition calculates for how long the condition is valid, see Figure 158.

The following date format is used; yyyymmdd, where:

• yyyy equals the year, range 0000–9999.
• mm equals the month, range 01–12.
• dd equals the day, range 01–31.

The dates can be entered in any of the following formats:

• Single entry: yyyymmdd
• Range of dates: yyyymmdd-yyyymmdd
• Wildcards can be used for year, month, or day: yyyymm*, *mmdd, yyyy*dd. Wildcards cannot be used in ranges.
• Entries separated by commas or by line breaks.

In the Figure 159, a range is used along with single date entries separated by commas.

In the Figure 160, line breaks are used to separate the different cases.
