Re: Date data type question

[boothm@xxxxxxx]

I suspect you are reading in the full date, converting it to mm/dd/yy and 
trying to show it on the screen?  In any event, any time you access a date data 
type and the date involved is outside of 1940-2038 then you have to stay in a 
full yyyy year format or it will tell you you are out of range.  Otherwise it 
would not know how to restore the date back from yy to yyyy.
