Re: About Format-datetime()

[Albert Howard <starbukk@concentric.net>]

To switch to 4 digit years, there are some settings to change in
SETENV.SQC.  I'm not going to go into detail because there are several
things that have to match up properly, so testing is a must, and I'm not
sure of all the settings. Year4, Century, a few others need to be adjusted.
 This is a global change and may effect some of your in-house developed
SQR's, so be careful.
