Single known date/probable date:
Code s (008/06) indicates that the date consists of one known single date of distribution, publication, release, production, execution, writing, or a probable date that can be represented by four digits. This date is given in 008/07-10. Character positions 008/11-14 contain # (blanks). The single date associated with the item may be actual, approximate, or conjectural (e.g., if the single date is uncertain).
Code s is also used for a single unpublished item such as an original or historical graphic when there is a single date associated with the execution of the item.
