This has been touched on, but we just had an example of a problem caused by
not using modern code. We had a situation where a date on an order needed
to be a year in the future. It failed on 2/29 (you can all see where this
is going) as the new calculated date was 2/29/09. The programmer refuses to
use bifs, so took 21 lines to "fix" the problem. Of course that fix broke
today, as it calculated 3/0/09. I tried to show him how he could solve the
problem in a couple of statements, but he doesn't understand it. Actually,
he said "how can you add a year to a date without breaking it apart into
month, day and year?" <Sigh> Yeah, we don't use true date fields either.
