..fear that the users cannot understand ..

I found that the users just want it to work, and that it is management
who is unwilling to commit the time & money..

IBM has already provided a means to deal with this issue. All we need to do is NEVER use six-digit date formats. However, there are RPG shops that cling to these unsafe formats because they fear that the users cannot understand that they need to enter two additional digits on their date entry fields. IMO, this is one of the most pathetic demonstrations of FUD around.

You guys must not be considering date-of-birth.
This logic would never work for anyone born before 1940.................

If you were born 12/31/39 and the system would assume that meant
2039...................
