Right, just make sure that your conversion software removes any such data.
If you have YYYYMMDD data now, you are going to have to convert it to YYMMDD
anyway & the program that does so could be told to not copy anything older
than your cutoff.  Now we are on 405 CD & I have noticed that some program
some place is dropping the high order digits of YYYY & I have not yet
bothered to track down which one (I come across date of last activity for
example in some files like IIM IWI etc. randomly missing all of YYYY) so your
conversion program needs to allow for possibility of bad data in date fields.
