There is no automatic way to fix this. You may have people born in 1901
or 2001. There's no way for the computer to determine what's right.
You'll just have to write a routine based on best guess, and check the
data.

Subject: Base year

I am trying to convert a mm/dd/yy character field that contains date of
birth into a ccyymmdd numeric field.

When the character field contains a 2-digit year that is less than 40,
and it is moved to the numeric field, which has a 4-digit year, the
century used is 2000 and the 4-digit year becomes 2039, which is wrong.

Does anyone know of a way to change the base default for this?
If not, does anyone know of an easy way to correct this?


Thank you,
