Roy,

The 100-year thing has been on S/38 & AS/400 from their inception 
(AFAIK-wasn't at the birth myself). It goes from 1/1/1940 to 
12/31/2039. The assumption is that anything with a year>=40 is 
1900's, <=39 is 2000's.

If your business doesn't use dates outside that range, you might get 
by with it for awhile by applying the fix. But we're all facing this 
on AS/400s anyway.

Hope this helps a little

Cheers
