Discussion
This routine decomposes a day number into the corresponding year, month and day components. The
month value of 1 corresponds to January while 12 corresponds to December. If the day number is
omitted, the value of Register.RTCDay is used.
Note that Register.RTCDay is initialized to zero on power-up or reset. This day number corresponds to
January 1, 1999.

The second form of this subroutine is not available in BasicX compatibility mode.
