Datasheet dates..

While getting the database ready for the new GE tools, I've come across a few amusing little 'errors'. Most noticable would be AG7407, which apparently had a recovery in .. an impossible month:

 AG7407  HISTORY     - Date     Condition        Report By
AG7407  HISTORY     - 1982     MONUMENTED       FLDNR
AG7407  HISTORY     - 19980112 POOR             USPSQD
AG7407  HISTORY     - 20030709 MARK NOT FOUND   USPSQD
AG7407  HISTORY     - 20092709 GOOD             FLDEP

(In case your eyes scan over it, the 27th month? )

I read that recovery as the 27th of September in 2009.

Just looked at the shape files for a few of my recoveries in Park Co, Montana. Looks like the convention there is YYYYMMDD. I learned a long time ago that it is hard to typo 15Feb2013.

Mike, will your new program recognize UNK as a date? MEL

Mike, will your new program recognize UNK as a date? MEL

It didn't, until I found that date.

 

For the 'monumented' date, the program will pick the next recognizable date. This happens more often than know, as 'UNK' is often used for old, ol stations for First Observed/Monumented descritions. For other bad recovery dates, the date will be the first of the year, *or* the next day after the previous recovery.

 

And, a lot of my work on updating the Google Earth database had me working on NGSGPX v3. Yeah, I'm still working on it, slowly.
