Is it 10 or 100? If 100 then probably because the c routine localtime() was used to convert the time() value into a year/month/day format. localtime() returns a structure that containes tm_year which is defined to be the number of years since 1900. Many programmers mistakenlly took the value to tm_year to be the two digit year value. It is not. If this is what is happening, then it is a cosmetic problem and has been fixed in later releases.

I stand corrected. The '10' is coming from the first two digits of the year value that was coming out of localtime(). This was corrected in 7.24UC8. It is a cosmetic problem and should not cause any data corruption. Madison Pruet wrote: > Is it 10 or 100?
