What does CCYYMMDD date format mean?

Question

I want to speak to a soap service that has a date parameter which is required to be the CCYYMMDD format.

What is its definition?

Answer 1

It means yyyyMMdd, as in year (4 digits), month (2 digits, leading zero) and day (2 digits, leading zero).

So the ISO 8601 date 2014-01-05 is represented as CCYYMMDD as 20140105.
