This means that you can enter a date value in the form '01/02/2000' and have it processed without the century component (in this example, '20') dropping off. This processing is applicable to all three formats (DMY, MDY, YMD). With this type of processing, date compares work correctly because 2000 compares greater than 1999. For applications which have a restricted date field (not wide enough to support a 4 digit year), the interpretation of the 2 digit year can be changed in the following way: 00-49 would mean 2000-2049 and 50-99 would mean 1950-1999. This means that although you enter '01/02/00' on the form, VPlus will treat the year internally as 2000. Again, dates compare OK because '01/02/00' > '01/02/99' (essentially, 2000 > 1999). These options are invoked by setting a bit in a JCW. Note that VPlus, by default, will perform date processing as today. Kumar HP CSY Lab
