Re: Year 2000 rollover for date fields

There is no way to do what you seek to do. The 7.20 ESQL/C library uses the DBCENTURY environment variable to allow users to control way 2-digit years are mapped to 4-digit years. No release of I4GL using the 7.20 ESQL/C (or later) is planned. You will have to enter and display 4-digit years. See also recent discussions of the subject on c.d.i.
