-
identifies a separator
or specifies that no separator appear between the year and the quarter.
These are valid values for x:
- C

- N
-
indicates no separator.
- P
-
separates with a period.
- S
-
separates with a forward
slash.
- w
-
specifies the width
of the output field.
Default:8
Range:6–32
Interactions:When x is
set to N, no separator is specified.
The width range is then 5–32, and the default changes to 7.
When the value of w is too small to write a four-digit year, the date appears with only
the last two digits of the year.
