Remarks:

YMD2DATE creates a date series by combining individual year, month and day values.

Out of range month and day values are rolled over.

See DATE2YMD to convert a date series to series of years, months, days.

See YMDHMS2DT to convert years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds to a date time series.
