Indication: 
  the 'periodic date, start' should be encoded using 4 digits for the calendar year (CCYY), 2 digits 
for 
    the month (MM) (e.g. April = 04) and 2 digits for the day (DD). When no specific year is required 
(ie 
    the object is deployed at the same time each year) the following two cases may be considered: 
    - same day each year: --MMDD 
    - same month each year: --MM 
    This conforms to ISO 8601: 1988.

  CCYYMMDD (full date, mandatory) 
    --MMDD (same day each year, mandatory) 
    --MM (same month each year, mandatory) 
Example: 
    --04 for an operation starting in April each year.
