Correct; the release date is currently scheduled as 98Q1 (1Q98 for those who like to make it hard to sort things). That applies to all platforms -- or, more precisely, no platform is expected to have the 6.10 product before 98Q1. > Please let me know that this isn't true, OK, I'll tell you it isn't true; but I'm fibbing now. The statement above is correct, despite wishful thinking. > we have lots of code rolling now, and we need the DBCENTURY value. Why? As long as you are allowing users to enter 4-digit years and allowing them to see all 4 digits of the year, the only issue is that you have to type 4 digits for any date into the year 2000 (or beyond). That I agree is a nuisance, and is a good reason for wanting to upgrade to 6.10, but the absence of the facility does not prevent the application from being usable. Wishing you a Happy New Year...
