Microsoft® JScript™ setYear Method | Language Reference Version 1

See Also Applies To

##### Description

> Sets the year value in the Date object.

##### Syntax

> objDate.setYear(numYear)

> The numYear argument is a numeric value equal to the year minus 1900.

##### Remarks

> This method is obsolete, and is maintained for backwards compatibility only. Use the setFullYear method instead.

> To set the year of a Date object to 1997, call setYear(97). To set the year to 2010, call setYear(2010). Finally, to set the year to a year in the range 0-99, use the setFullYear method.

> The following example illustrates the use of the setYear method:

> >     function SetYearDemo(newyear)
> >     {
> >       var d, s;
> >       d = new Date();
> >       d.setYear(newyear);
> >       s = "Current setting is ";
> >       s += d.toLocaleString();
> >       return(s);
> >     }
