The N3SCE Method compares two years. The input field is expected to only contain a year in the form YY or CCYY. The routine ignores the

REFxx

options as there is not enough structure to support them.

Of the local options it supports

RANGE*nnn

(like N3SCD but the range specifies years, not days).

LOPT=(RANGE*[

number

])

If the years are

[number]

years apart or less then score 100 – if they are less than twice

[number]

years apart then score 50 – otherwise score 0.

[number]

can be in the range 0 to 32767.
