19841019

19841019 is the eight-digit date notation written as YYYYMMDD. It represents October 19, 1984, in the Gregorian calendar. This compact form is common in computing and data records because it is unambiguous and easily sortable when used as a string.

Because the digits are arranged from most significant to least significant, a simple lexical comparison matches chronological order. The format is a practical subset of ISO 8601, which prescribes the hyphenated form 1984-10-19; many systems retain the compact 8-digit form for filenames, timestamps, or primary keys in databases.

Cross-cultural use of the same numeric string can vary by calendar system. In the Japanese calendar, for example, the date corresponds to Showa 59-10-19. Other calendars require conversion to yield the same moment in time.

In practical terms, 19841019 appears in archival datasets, software version histories, logistical records, and other date-stamped identifiers. It exemplifies how YYYYMMDD supports robust data management across heterogeneous systems. In broader historical context, 1984 was marked by major political and cultural events, including the Los Angeles Summer Olympics; however, no widely cited event is specifically tied to October 19 within standard references.
