Re: Year 2000 compliance

Mukta asks: >Informix web site lists that 4gl v6.1 will be the first version of 4gl >year 2000 compliant.. Can someone explain to me what that means. Can you >not change the settings of DBDATE to MDY4 and enter year 2000+ from your >existing applications? No, you can change the settings. If you have an application that uses 4-digit years then you will have no problem. >Where does informix products pick the default century from ? This depends on the version and environment variables. See the whitepaper at: http://www.informix.com/informix/products/new_plo/year2000.htm for a good discussion. Also see the ad nauseum discussion of Y2K problems elsewhere in the comp.databases.informix forum, paying special attention to Jonathan Leffler's definitive answers.
