20080719

20080719 is a numeric date string used to denote July 19, 2008, in the Gregorian calendar. It is the compact form of the date expressed as 2008-07-19 in the ISO 8601 standard, which uses year-month-day with separators.

Such yyyymmdd formatting is common in computing and data systems because it allows straightforward lexicographic sorting and compact storage. It appears in filenames, timestamps, database keys, version tags, and archival identifiers.

In 2008, a leap year, July 19 was the 201st day of the year and fell on a Saturday.

Because the format uses only digits and no separators, it can be ambiguous when used without context; many systems prefer an explicit separator or a timezone and may use alternative date orders in different locales.
