Re: Year 2000 rollover for date fields

Paul, As of yet, you can't enter year 2000 dates with only two digits. Current Informix products always assume that 1900 should be added to two digit years. But, don't blame Informix for our lack of foresight. Two digit years were probably a bad idea all along. But, coming in the new product releases (7.12? 7.20?) there will be a new environment variable DBCENTURY. It will instruct Informix how to handle two digit years. It has values which mean always assume next century, assume closest century, etc. For now though, I don't know of any automated relief.
