Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s)

date_full converts date field values in DD-MMM-YY format to long-form, descriptive dates, including full-length years in YYYY format and full-length months, with the option to "cleanly" abbreviate them. The option to convert to the UK date format is also available.

1	date_full(date, abbreviate = FALSE, uk.notation = FALSE)

`date`	A scalar or vector of length n and class character containing one or more date values in `DD-MMM-YY` format.
`abbreviate`	A logical value (i.e. `TRUE` or `FALSE`) indicating whether to convert months to an abbreviated, 3-character format, e.g. "Aug." Defaults to `FALSE`.
`uk.notation`	A logical value (i.e. `TRUE` or `FALSE`) indicating whether to reorder day, month, and year to common UK notation. Defaults to `FALSE`.

Because the warehouse year format is YY, dates prior to 1930 C.E. will automatically convert to post-2000 C.E.

Values passed to argument date = which are not in DD-MMM-YY format or contain unrecognized month abbreviations are coerced to NA (missing) values and a warning message is thrown.

A scalar or vector of values of class character containing long-form, descriptive dates including the day, full or abbreviated month, and 4-digit year, in either US or UK notation.
