This is quite acceptable. We use SYNON for development and although our systems are Y2K compliant, the screens and reports show a six digit date. We have developed (for cosmetic purposes) headers that display an 8 digit date and is being used on new functions. Imagine the time wasted in regening and compiling a couple of thousand applications just because it <looks> as if it is not Y2K compliant.
