This was also one of our few "real" y2k problems....

At least it's consistent.
I can live with the confusion, as long as I am consistently confused.

Subject: !HPYEAR


To the people of the list,

Okay, so I was doing a final bit of Y2K testing last week and had the
!HPYEAR variable in a jobstream that renames some files. I realize that
HPDATE variables drop any leading zeros but did not expect this for the
year.
Poor assumption on my part.
Example:       !HPMONTH!HPDATE!HPYEAR  used on 01/01/99 returns 1199.
When I used this format with a system date of 01/01/00 and 01/01/01 the
variables returned 110 and 111 respectively. Somewhat confusing at first
glance.

Anyone have any thoughts or comments.
Should I have any concerns?

Were running iX ver 60
TIA for the input.
