I was told by a man-from-Informix that dealing with 2digit year specification is under application care. The OnLine stores date value as integer. So if you write "97" into formfield, application has to convert it into integer (number of days since from 31.12.1899, I suppose) and sends this in query. I also suppose there exists a standart routine for the calculation (string[date] -> integer). I know this is not answer on every date question, but I understood it so: if application handles correctly with date, OnLine will have no problems. PS: all OnLine (v5xx) utils (tbtape, dbload ..) will work fine after 2000 (I was told) PS2: DBCENTURY variable is 4gl&comps' variable, not OnLine's. (this is how I understand it) -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Michal Hajek mailto:hajek@nspuh.cz Sprava NIS http://www.nspuh.cz NsP Uherske Hradiste phone : voice +420 0632 529 204 Purkynova 365 fax +420 0632 551 014 686 68 Uherske Hradiste Czech Republic --------------------------------------------------------------
