DATEBOX creates a data entry box in which a User may select a date.
If a User types in the date, the entry will automatically be checked against the expected date format specified in Pattern: (see Date formats in an EASAP).
The date can be bounded by Upper Bound: and Lower Bound: parameters.
A User may enter the date by selecting it on the pop- up calendar activated by clicking on either the 'Calendar' button (
) or within the box itself. Manual date entry is possible with an INPUTBOX.
An example of the pop-up calendar is shown below.
