OJ Daily – Date Field

The Date field in the OJ Daily database on Justis contains the date(s) on which the issue of the Official Journal of the European Union was published. For example:

6 March 2003

You can search this field for a range of dates in a number of formats. Date range searching is controlled by the date operators: AFTER, BEFORE, ON, FROM and TO. Use FROM and TO if you want to specify a range by its start and end dates.

Pub[after 6 mar 2003]	finds documents dated after 6 March 2003
Pub[before 21/2/2003]	finds documents dated before 21 February 2003
Pub[on mar 6 2003]	finds documents dated 6 March 2003
Pub[from 1 jan 2003 to 31 jan 2003]	finds documents dated from 1 January 2003 to 31 January 2003, inclusive of both dates

You can use symbols to represent some date operators:

>	represents	AFTER
<	represents	BEFORE
=	represents	ON

You can search for dates in the following formats:

Format	Example
dd/mm/yyyy dd mmm yyyy dd mmmm yyyy mmm dd yyyy mmmm dd yyyy yyyy/mm/dd yyyymmdd	29/1/2003 29 jan 2003 29 january 2003 jan 29 2003 january 29 2003 2003/1/29 20030129

Names of months can be in full, or 3-letter abbreviations (with or without a full stop), with or without an initial capital. Dates that begin with the names of months can optionally have a comma after the day.

You can search for any combination of the 3 elements, for example month and year, or day and month.
