How does SYSTEM 2000 software handle the year 2000?


SYSTEM 2000 software handles correctly all dates between October 15, 1582 A.D. and December 31, 2499 A.D. In Version 1, the maximum allowable date has been extended to December 31, 9999 A.D.

PLEX programs and SCF commands manipulating dates specified with a two-digit year value may require the YEARCUTOFF option to dictate century calculation. You can use the YEARCUTOFF command in both SCF and in PLEX programs to achieve the same results as the YEARCUTOFF execution parameter, or to override it.

For a more detailed description of the YEARCUTOFF option, refer to the SYSTEM 2000 PLEX Manual, Chapter 18 or SYSTEM 2000 Technical Report Changes and Enhancements, Release 12.1.
