Re: Date range -- RPG400-L

What's odd though, is that if you look at a true *MDY date type the low
value is 01/01/40 and the hi value is 12/31/39.  We know this means 1940
through 2039, but it could really be confusing, and possibly disastrous, if
using *MDY dates as ranges.

Can someone tell me what the max range is for a MDY date? IE: 1900 - 2020



Some of our programs still use six digit dates (Yes, I know we should be
converting them but that's not my decision and considering the number of
programs involved it would take a huge amount of time and resources) and

need to trap for max dates that are allowable in a *USA format but are
invalid for a *MDY
