Storing dates - revisted...

[Chuck Lewis <CLEWIS@xxxxxxxxxx>]

More questions on date storage !

You can change all of your old date storage in files from YY/MM/DD to
YYYY/MM/DD. Is that what folks are doing ?

We are on V4R1 and IBM is storing the QYEAR as YY and then there is
QCENTURY as 0=1920-1999 and 1=2000=2053.

It seems to me that YYYY/MM/DD is the better way to go (more
straightforward) as century really is "clumsy" )have to remember where 0
and 1 start and stop)... ??????/

Or does it matter ?

What's everyone doing ?

We have a software package that is storing Century as 2 digits and has
19 in it !!!

Thanks !

Chuck
