Date of item information that either cannot be recorded in 008/06-14 (Type of date/Publication status, Date 1, Date 2) because such information involves one or more Before Common Era (B.C.E.) dates, incorrect dates, dates when resources have been modified or created, and date spans when resources are valid, or is recorded here in addition to appearing in 008/06-14. When field 046 is used for B.C.E. dates, 008/06 is set to code b (No date given; B.C.E. date involved) and field 008/07-10 and 008/11-14 contain blanks (####). When field 046 is used for incorrect dates, field 008/06 is coded for the type of corrected data and field 008/07-10 and 008/11-14 contain correct dates.
Guidelines on how to transcribe a date in subfields $b, $c, $d, and $e are generally the same as those specified under 008/06 (Type of date/Publication status), 008/07-10 (Date 1) and 008/11-14 (Date 2), except that incorrect dates and B.C.E. dates may be recorded only in field 046.
Precedence of codes (monographic items) - When more than one code applies to the date(s) related to a bibliographic item, use the lists below to determine the appropriate code to use. In each list, codes listed first take precedence over codes listed subsequently. The first list covers single part items and multipart items completed in one year. The second list covers multipart items for which a span of dates is required.

The date requires 8 numeric characters in the pattern yyyymmdd (4 for the year, 2 for the month, and 2 for the day). If applicable, the time requires 8 numeric characters in the pattern hhmmss.f (2 for the hour, 2 for the minute, 2 for the second, and 2 for a decimal fraction of the second, including the decimal point). The 24-hour clock (00-23) is used.
