200607

200607 is a six-digit numeric string commonly used to denote the year and month July 2006 in a compact YYYYMM format. It is often employed in data management, file naming, and record-keeping where only year and month precision is required. The label is widely recognized in computing contexts that favor sortable, fixed-width identifiers.

Because its structure places the year before the month, it sorts naturally in both lexicographic and calendar order. This makes 200607 suitable for monthly aggregates, batch processing, and archival systems that accumulate data by month. It is frequently found in log entries, database keys, backup prefixes, and production dashboards.

A limitation of using 200607 as a date marker is the absence of day information, which means it cannot uniquely identify a single date. Without additional context, its meaning may be ambiguous across different systems. ISO 8601 provides explicit alternatives such as 2006-07 or 2006-07-01 for clarity.

Variants and usage notes: in practice, 200607 can appear as a component of longer codes, filenames, or version identifiers. Some systems prefix or suffix it with letters or digits (for example, prod-200607 or 200607-01). The exact interpretation depends on local conventions, but the core meaning remains year 2006 and month 07.
