 You are right Duane. I stand corrected. Thank you.

 Small correction:

  If you have code that wants to build a calendar date using NLCONVCUSTDATE
  you cannot do this for *1900-1927*.

  This intrinsic interprets yy/mm/dd, yy = 00-27, as CALENDAR year 100-127
  (meaning 2000-2027) and 28-99 as CALENDAR year 1928-1999.

  NL intrinsics accepting CALENDAR format accept year from 0 to 127 for
  1900-2027.
