Byte 0 -> binary number representing the most significant two digits of a four digit year. Byte 1 -> binary number representing the least significant two digits of a four digit year. Thus, if given the first two bytes values of 20, 03, the year for this date are 2003. Bytes 2 & 3 are the numeric characters representing the month of the year. Bytes 4 & 5 are the numeric characters representing the day of the month. Thus a value of 0x010131313131 is a date of November (month 11) 11 (day 11) in the year 101. |
