This should be an easy one for one of you Informix techies. I have recently been given responsibility for a small database that uses an Informix-SE engine (ver 4.10.UC2) and runs on an SCO OS5 box and am attempting to test it for Y2K compliance. I have discovered that dates inserted or referenced with two digit centuries are interpreted by the engine as 1900 even if the system date is 2000. Is there a setting or environment variable that is causing the system century to not be the default? Any ideas on this will be greatly appreciated.
