The system value QCENTURY is changeable in you are in an
ambiguous year, like 28 through 53.  My suspicion is that there are
not many systems currently running in those years.  Many thanks to
Bruce Vining from IBM for noting that fact and calling me. 

The initial design criteria for QCENTURY was to have been that it wasn't
changeable,  which is when it was taught to me.

Just for the record, the QCENTURY text from my pitch that I do at COMMON,
Everything you Always Wanted to Know about System Values (but were afraid
to ask), follows.
