Value Representation "Date"
A string of characters of the format yyyymmdd;
where yyyy shall contain year, mm shall contain the month, and dd
shall contain the day. This conforms to the ANSI HISPP MSDS Date
common data type.
Example: "19930822" would represent
August 22, 1993.
Notes:
1. For reasons of backward compatibility
with versions of this standard prior to V3.0, it is recommended
that implementations also support a string of characters of the
format yyyy.mm.dd for this VR.
2. See also DT VR in this table.
Character Set: "0"-"9" of Default Character
Repertoire
Note:
For reasons specified in the previous column,
implementations may wish to support the "." character
as well.
Size Restriction(s): 8 bytes fixed
Note:
For reasons specified in the
previous columns, implementations may also wish to support a 10
byte fixed length as well.
