    year = 2018;
    month = 11;
    day = 02;
    myDate=CreateDate(year,month,day)
    writeOutput("The date is: " & myDate);
</cfscript>

Output

The date is: {ts '2018-11-02 00:00:00'}

Real-world uses of the CreateDate function

Contract management and expiry tracking

Legal departments and contract managers need to track contract lifecycles, renewal dates, and compliance deadlines across hundreds or thousands of agreements. Manual contract tracking leads to missed renewals, expired agreements, and potential legal liability. Companies lose an average of 5-40% of contract value due to poor date management. Use CreateDate to establish precise contract dates, calculate renewal periods, and automate expiry notifications.

<cfscript>
    // Sample contract data
    contracts = [
        {"id": "CON001", "client": "TechCorp Inc", "startYear": 2023, "startMonth": 3, "startDay": 15, "termYears": 2, "value": 150000},

Employee management and human resources

HR departments manage employee lifecycles including hire dates, birthdays, anniversaries, performance reviews, and leave management across diverse workforces. Manual HR date tracking leads to missed milestones, compliance issues, and poor employee experience. Most employees feel undervalued when birthdays and anniversaries are forgotten. Use CreateDate to manage employee dates, calculate tenure, schedule reviews, and automate HR workflows.

Financial reporting and fiscal period management

Finance teams require precise fiscal period definitions, quarterly reporting deadlines, and budget cycle management for accurate financial planning and regulatory compliance. Incorrect fiscal dates lead to misaligned reporting, regulatory violations, and financial statement errors. Manual date calculations consume a significant portion of the finance team's time during close periods. Use CreateDate to establish fiscal calendars, automate reporting periods, and ensure consistent handling of financial dates.

Subscription and billing management

SaaS companies and subscription businesses manage billing cycles, trial periods, and renewal dates for thousands of customers with varying subscription terms. Incorrect billing dates lead to revenue leakage, customer churn, and compliance issues. Manual subscription management incurs significant costs in terms of lost subscription revenue. Use CreateDate to establish billing cycles, calculate trial periods, and automate subscription management.
