Jon,

"some countries"? How about "just about all". MDY is such an unusual
format that in IBM date terms the four digit year version is
designated as *USA!

Well, just trying to be courteous with my American colleagues :-)

Just curious, Would you care to elaborate on that conversion method?

Thanks,

When I was working on IBM's Y2K offerings the contractor that produced
the tool did not originally include an MDY version as they had never
heard of it. As a result (and luckily for them) they had never
encountered the idiotic multiply by 10000.01 conversion method either.
