public class INTERVALYM extends Datum
INTERVALYM Class


The INTERVALYM class specifies a value to be used to measure time differences.

The internal data for this object is stored as a five byte array in the super class' storage area. The bytes are arranged as follows: 

      Byte       Represents
       0         High byte of year
       1         2nd high byte of year
       2         3rd high byte of year
       3         least byte of year     
       4         month val + 60

Static methods are used for conversions.
