RE: Date compare Best Practices

I had to play with the numbers on a calculator way back when...  I had
forgotten the exact numbers and did not have it written down where I was at
the time.  Also had to refigure it out (using my trusty calculator again)
when we were doing Y2K conversion.  The shop was not really using RPGIV at
the time.  
Kind of opens up the why it works.

Hmm?  The 10000.01 trick only works because RPG compilers before ILE don't
care if you truncate numeric digits.  I'd also question whether the RPGIII
community REALLY understands why this works.
