The search tools look for dates in data base files.  The fix-it-tools
(BYPASS/2000) use the results from the search tools to trace the dates
through the source code.

The search tools actually read data, and have parameters to determine %   
of
good dates, % of bad dates (02/31/97), special values (99/99/99) and   
zeros.
 There have actually been some weird and perverted people that have put
dates into alpha fields and into other inappropriate fields (9.2   
packed!).
The search tools find this stuff.
