Description norbert2 2004-03-18 20:45:08 UTC 
The function OSTERSONNTAG(9999) (german, in english I gues "eastersunday")
returns "31.12.99". I don't think that even in the year 9999 easter-sunday will
be in december! :-)

Hhhhmmmm,

I think we will fix this according to the timeframe. Let's say 100 years before
the date ?   ;-)

Eike what do you think ?

Frank

PS It seems that we calculate in the correct way up to the year 9957
Comment 2 ooo 2004-03-19 14:22:48 UTC 
Just read the function's description in the FormulaAutoPilot: the year has to be
a value between 1583 and 9956, so calculating an incorrect result for year 9999
is not a bug but a user error ;-)

However, we could return an error condition instead of an invalid result.
Comment 3 norbert2 2004-03-21 09:12:33 UTC 
"we could return an error condition instead of an invalid result"

Yes, this would be much better!

To Frank:

"Just read the function's description..."

In the Function List's description, this is not mentioned!!!
