Deals without StartDate or StartDateTime in ERN-3 and ERN 4.1
The StartDate
or StartDateTime
in the Deal
composite was optional in ERN-3, ERN 4.0 and ERN 4.1; from ERN 4.2 onwards it will be mandatory.
The reason for this change is that the semantics of having no StartDate
or StartDateTime
is ambiguous and DDEX strongly recommends to always communicate a StartDate or a StartDateTime
in every Deal
.
