RE: Date range-additional question

Do you mean that you don't still have all that food in storage ?
I still have my flashlight that the hotel in Florida gave me. Kind of
cool....

Does anyone know IBM's intention for dealing with *MDY range?
I thought I heard somewhere we would be able (future) to control the
range (like maybe a system value?) to make the 1940 - 2039 changeable.

I've had problems in doing the change as you go method, when dates
entered in *USA or *ISO are later run through some batch or print
process that moves it to *MDY and halts. Have had to edit for *MDY limits
for all date entries, including imported data from other systems.

Hey, by the time 2039 rolls around, someone will have figured out how to
handle it.  Won't they??

What's odd though, is that if you look at a true *MDY date type the
low value is 01/01/40 and the hi value is 12/31/39.  We know this
means 1940 through 2039, but it could really be confusing, and
possibly disastrous,

if

using *MDY dates as ranges.

Can someone tell me what the max range is for a MDY date? IE: 1900 -
2020



Some of our programs still use six digit dates (Yes, I know we should



be converting them but that's not my decision and considering the
number of programs involved it would take a huge amount of time and
resources) and

I

need to trap for max dates that are allowable in a *USA format but
are invalid for a *MDY
