It is important that theRP use the right calendar when Julian dates areutilized.Since this requisition is being transmitted in aleap year, the correct entry for card columns 36through 39 for August 12, 1980, is “0225.”Card columns 40-43(SERIAL)Serial numbers are assigned at the discretionof the originating command.
