If one tries to convert 2040-01-31 to MMDDYY it aborts. Documented here
at
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v7r1m0/topic/db2/rbafzc
h2date.htm
and elsewhere.

Is there any talk about sliding that window?

Since we've already hit a hiccup are some people considering dropping
using built in techniques to convert from 8 to 6 digit date fields and
use custom code?
