Problem Description:

The dateTimeFormat function returns an incremented year value when using the uppercase year mask when the date to format lies between December 27 and December 31.


Steps to Reproduce:

<cfset december26_lastYear = createDate(2015, 12, 26)>
<cfset december27_lastYear = createDate(2015, 12, 27)>

<cfoutput>

	#dateTimeFormat(december26_lastYear, "YYYY")#<br>
	<!--- >> 2015 --->

	#dateTimeFormat(december26_lastYear, "yyyy")#<br>
	<!--- >> 2015 --->

	#dateTimeFormat(december27_lastYear, "YYYY")#<br>
	<!--- >> 2016 --->

	#dateTimeFormat(december27_lastYear, "yyyy")#<br>
	<!--- >> 2015 --->

</cfoutput>


Actual Result:
See comments in example.


Expected Result:
As long as the uppercase YYYY mask is not documated differently, I expect it to work the same way as the lowercase yyyy mask.


Any Workarounds:
Not using uppercase letters for the year mask.

Not a bug I'm afraid. https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html "Y" is not the same as "y": y = calendar year Y = week year Part of the last week of December can fall in week 1 of the following year. I think Adobe should perhaps document this a bit better than just footnoting that SimpleDateFormat character also work in dateTimeFormat().

Alexander, This is not a bug, as Adam said in the previous comment. This information needs to be updated in the documentation. I am forwarding it to the concern team. Thanks, Nimit
