PROC DATASOURCE handles some Y2K formats incorrectly


In Version 6, PROC DATASOURCE used some formats that assumed 1900 would be added to any 2 digit year. This situation has been corrected in Version 7 (i.e., the 21st century years will be formatted correctly in the output dataset).

The specific formats that are affected are XYYMMDD and YYQZ. All other formats are Y2K compliant.

THIS IS A YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE.
