[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #36563] datevec compatability

[Alexander Barth]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #36563 (project octave):

In the revised patch (datevec-new.patch), I added support for the format
21,22, 25, 26 29 and 31.

I tested the code and I got the same results as in matlab R2010a
(test_datevec.m).

However, formats 12,24,25 and 28 give quite strange (bogus?) result in
matlab:

datevec('Mar00',12) % mmmyy

ans =   2012           2          29           0           0           0

datevec('01/03/2000',24) %dd/mm/yyyy,

ans =   2000           1           3           0           0           0

datevec('00/03/01',25) %yy/mm/dd

ans =   101     1     3     0     0     0


datevec('Mar2000',28) %mmmyyyy

ans =  2017           8          21           0           0           0

Can somebody with a newer version of matlab confirm this?

Format 24 gives the same results in octave 3.6.1 (with or without patch) than
in matlab. However, day and month are reversed according to documentation.
