 FT_ACCTYEAR()
 Return accounting year data
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Syntax

      FT_ACCTYEAR( [ <dGivenDate> ] ) -> aDateInfo

 Arguments

     <dGivenDate> is any valid date in any date format.  Defaults
     to current system date if not supplied.

 Returns

     A three element array containing the following data:

        aDateInfo[1] - The year as a character string "YYYY"
        aDateInfo[2] - The beginning date of the accounting year
        aDateInfo[3] - The ending date of the accounting year

 Description

     FT_ACCTYEAR() creates an array containing data about the
     accounting year containing the given date.

     An accounting period has the following characteristics:

     If the first week of the period contains 4 or more 'work'
     days, it is included in the period; otherwise, the first
     week was included in the prior period.

     If the last week of the period contains 4 or more 'work'
     days it is included in the period; otherwise, the last week
     is included in the next period.  This results in 13 week
     'quarters' and 4 or 5 week 'months'.  Every 5 or 6 years, a
     'quarter' will contain 14 weeks and the year will contain 53
     weeks.

 Examples

     // get info about accounting year containing 9/15/90
     aDateInfo := FT_ACCTYEAR( CTOD("09/15/90") )
     ? aDateInfo[1]   //  1990
     ? aDateInfo[2]   //  12/31/89    beginning of year
     ? aDateInfo[3]   //  12/29/90    end of year
