Date Range |  |  |  |  | From | To |  |  | From | To |  |  | From | To |  | *In every 3 years from the starting date "FROM", there will be 1 Step is added. *There is no step before Year 2000. *The effectivity of step will be updated and reflected starting year 2000 (shown in Test 1 and Test 2 table) *The Start date and end dates of "FROM" and "TO" must follow the date range table. However, the start date and the end end can be change starting year 2000 if there's an additional step for every 3 years from the starting date "FROM"
