Background: In OCS Express, we can have parameters inserted into a job
stream, i. e., a date response for a program. The date requested can be
some offset of the current date in whatever format we choose, both with and
without the century.

We have encountered a problem now that we are using Y2K compliant dates, if
we request a date 777 months in the past (that's 65 years for those without
a handy calculator <g>). The date returned will be in the 21st Century:
2033 instead of 1933.

OCS says that their internal calendar only goes back to 1979, and they
cannot help us.

Are there any OCS Express users who have encountered a similar problem and
found a work-around?

Thanks,
