But the idea is similar; it is not prone to Y2K problems. The only place Y2K is an issue is when the user is entering the data. > Und was ist mit dem 29.2.2000?

Yes, there was a bug in some version (7.20-7.23, maybe?) where, if you entered 29/2/00, and you had DBCENTURY set to expand it to the year 2000, it would tell you it was an invalid date (as it would be, if it were 29/2/1900). This is fixed in later releases. This has been discussed here before, so you can find more specific data using DejaNews, or if you have access to Informix's TechInfo Center, you can find it in the Defect Report (or something like that).
