EDIFACT  & ANSII  seem to  be at  two different points on this  .  One has
adopted a Y2K compliant  standard such as you mention with a  four digit
year and the other is  going to make  a decision shortly.

My guess would be for the *ISO  standard.  Until that happens you had  best
 chat with your trading partner to see how  each is going to  do their
thing in this area. It  likely will not happen in unison so be ready to
write some  bridge logic into those programs anyway.



Happy New Year

Glenn
