Re: default '19' in date field

Just go to http://www.dejanews.com and search for dbcentury in the comp.databases.informix news group. I can however not remember to have seen any confirmation of what, if any, version of 4GL that uses this environement variable. Anyone know? Date fields on screen and printout *must* of course contain 4 digit years in all cases even if you use dbcentury.
