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.
