The date 15-Dec-2040 represented in *ISO is 2040-12-15 and represented in *YMD would be 40/12/15. However that same *YMD value of 40/12/15 is _actually_ understood to be the *ISO 1940-12-15, and there would be no error generated for using that value; except perhaps incorrect output. What this suggests, is that although there is no support for a six digit year representing 2040 [and beyond], the six digit date can still be validly interpreted without error even if it is /incorrect/ for the wrong century. That may be what is the issue here.?

error with a six digit date data type.....did IBM fix that?
Because it no longer seems to be a problem......
