<< well i am just a newbie... but in my seventeen years i have never seen any
 code that uses 090999/990909 or 99099 for a permanent record... and I have
 seen many a pitiful coding in that "short" time.  I HAVE seen 999999 used
 and it was just coded around to accept as a valid date (just like 000000 for
 no date). I have also seen 123199 used for "no expiration date" (and those
 are "fixin" to expire ;-)
