Although not recommended a system could work fine with 6 digit dates, it just needs the smarts built in to know where a 40 means 1940, 2040, 2140 or whatever. Everything will be fine until some programmer tries to use one of those new fangled 'date' fields on a display and gives it a 2 digit year format.

Subject: Re: Getting "hard halts" on years > 2039
I wondered at first why we currently had a "next payment date" in 2040.
Someone suggested that it could be a balloon mortgage type of thing, but that doesn't smell right. IMHO, it's likely bad data, but it's a scenario that will someday affect good data. We do have 6-digit "maturity dates"
which we most certainly now have some mortgages that are going to mature past 2039, and these (apparently) are not causing problems for us.

I guess "next payment date" going over 2039 could have been a problem
for
30 year mortages for the last few years now. 25 year mortgages for
about the last year.
