For a health care provider, there is not an easy answer -
someone born in 2005 (now 1 year old) and yy = 05
someone born in 1905 (now 101 years old and yy = 05
A person now 107 years old (possible) is born in 1899.
If converting older data then you will certainly run into
births in 1800's.
I had a similar problem with a County Health Agency. Their data
did contain a 1 byte field to indicate if a minor, and I used that to determine.
There was another flag for married or single.
Without some other info, you can't tell. Using RPG's date functions
are not going to do this for you.

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,
