Re: Date data type question

[eric.delong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

     If you define dates as *ISO, *USA, *EUR, or *JIS, then the date 
     does not use the window (1940-2039) as the year is presented with 4 
     digits. Whenever you use a date data type that uses 2 digit years, 
     then dates must conform to the window range.

I'm reengineering an application in RPG/IV, and I am using date data 
types extensively. A big problem I'm having is processing birth dates. 
Many people I'm processing have birth dates before 1940, so I get the 
error "The year portion of a Date or Timestamp value is not in the range 
1940 to 2039." Is there anything I can do to use these dates with the 
date data type or must I still use a numeric format? Running V3R7.

Thanks,
Loyd Goodbar
