Date edit code incompatibilities with Y2K

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

We've run into this problem and I thought I better let you know what is up.  We 
have multiple 400's on different releases.  Our development machine is always 
running IBM's latest and greatest.  We tried to restore a physical file to one 
of our V3R2 machines and it wouldn't let us.  Kept telling us that the new edit 
code was not supported.  And while there is a new edit code available on V4R2 
we weren't using it.  (I don't even remember what it is.)  We finally 
determined that the problem was that we were using the date edit code Y on an 8 
digit field.  V3R2 doesn't support this.

All the more reason to use field reference files and use EDTWRD instead of edit 
code.
