Remarks: JScript Date Object setUTCFullYear Method

All set methods taking optional arguments use the value returned from corresponding get methods, if you do not specify an optional argument. For example, if the numMonth argument is optional, but not specified, JScript uses the value returned from the getUTCMonth method.

In addition, if the value of an argument is greater that its range or is a negative number, other stored values are modified accordingly.

To set the year according to local time, use the setFullYear method.

The range of years supported in the Date object is approximately 285,616 years from either side of 1970.
