ondate

Ondate is not a standard term with a single, formal definition. In general usage, it appears as the two-word phrase “on date,” which indicates the date on which something is true, valid, or recorded. In official documents, contracts, and data reporting, phrases such as “as of the on date” or similar formulations may be used to specify when a statement applies, though “as of date” is the more common construction in many styles.

In computing and software development, onDate can appear as part of naming conventions rather than as a language keyword. For example, a calendar or date picker component might expose an event handler named onDate or onDateSelected to respond to user actions involving dates. These identifiers are project-specific conventions (often in camelCase) and vary between languages and libraries.

In business and administration, the term is encountered in a descriptive sense to pin the status of records or agreements to a particular day. It can appear in forms, reports, or policy texts to denote accuracy or validity as of a given date. Because it is not a standardized term, its exact interpretation depends on domain conventions and the surrounding wording.

Hyphenation and style notes: some writers employ the form on-date when using it adjectivally, but many style guides prefer alternative phrasing such as “as-of date” or “current date” depending on context.
