AI 7250 (DOB, N8 YYYYMMDD) and 7251 (DOB TIME, N12 YYYYMMDDhhmm) use a four-digit year, but _encode_date() and _decode_date() only handled two-digit-year formats. Encoding raised "unsupported format: N8" and decoding raised a bare ValueError: N8 was parsed with '%y%m%d%H' and N12 was mistaken for two YYMMDD dates. Handle N8 and N12 explicitly in both directions and stop treating N12 as a pair of dates (only N6[+N6] / N6..12 encode two dates).

Rebased on master; I dropped my tox.ini mypy pin from this branch since you already capped mypy the same way in b99cfad, so the PR is now just the GS1-128 change. |

GS1 Application Identifiers 7250 (DOB) and 7251 (DOB TIME) carry a four-digit
year (
N8=YYYYMMDD,N12=YYYYMMDDhhmm), butgs1_128only handledtwo-digit-year date formats, so both AIs were broken in either direction:
info('725019800715')raised a bareValueError: time data '19800715' does not match format '%y%m%d%H'. TheN8value fell through to the generic'%y%m%d%H%M%S'[:len(value)]branch, which parsed the four-digit year asYY.info('7251198007151430')raisedValueErrorbecause the 12-digitN12value was treated as two
YYMMDDdates and'198007'is not a valid date.encode({'7250': datetime.date(1980, 7, 15)})raisedValueError: unsupported format: N8._encode_date()now formatsN8as%Y%m%dandN12as%Y%m%d%H%M, and_decode_date()parses them back with the matching four-digit-year formats.N12is also removed from the two-date branch: the only date AI that encodes apair of
YYMMDDdates is 7007 (N6[+N6]), whereas 7251 is a single datetime.Round-trip doctests for both AIs are added to
tests/test_gs1_128.doctest.
