Which statement describes a Contact Date Real (CDR)?

• A. A standard Gregorian date
• B. A string label
• C. A Unix timestamp
• D. A date in Epic's internal format, followed by two decimals identifying one contact among many on the same date

Answer: (D)

CDR is an Epic-specific dating value that combines an internal date with a per-contact suffix. The date portion uses Epic’s own internal format, and two decimals after it identify which contact on that date this record refers to. This lets there be multiple contacts on the same calendar day while still producing a unique, sortable value for each one. A standard Gregorian date would be identical for all those contacts, a Unix timestamp is a different time representation, and a plain string label wouldn’t provide the precise, numeric per-contact distinction. So the defining idea is the Epic internal date followed by two decimals that distinguish one contact among many on the same date.
