RE: Date format standards in XA

[DaleGindlesperger@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I've discovered a lot of companies did the CYYMMDD for Y2K.  It fit into
the packed fields without resizing at all.  Easy to do.  Moderately
annoying for programmers, but not that big a deal.

Display, Print, and Entry are all MM/DD/YY?

And never any 4-digit years?

Did XA predate the date data types?

Thanks again,

Most things display as MM/DD/YY.  Now they are stored at CYYMMDD so today
would be 1040621 last year would be 1030621.
