RE: Date range

That's what we said back in the '60s about 1999.

Hey, by the time 2039 rolls around, someone will have figured out how to
handle it.  Won't they??

What's odd though, is that if you look at a true *MDY date type the

possibly disastrous,

if

using *MDY dates as ranges.

Can someone tell me what the max range is for a MDY date? IE: 1900 - 
2020



Some of our programs still use six digit dates (Yes, I know we should

be converting them but that's not my decision and considering the 
number of programs involved it would take a huge amount of time and 
resources) and

I

need to trap for max dates that are allowable in a *USA format but 
are invalid for a *MDY
