kennedy Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 What algorithm does FMP follow when you enter a two-digit year? Most programs center a 100-year window at today, give or take a year. FMP seems to assume >90 is 19xx and <90 is 20xx. Except sometimes it uses just xx. Anyway, is there any way to specify this? I would love to allow 2-digit year input... but its useless of 88 is going to go to 2088. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Search the techInfo library, all of this stuff was worked out for the Y2K bug. I think you're aussumption above is about right, but there is no way to change it afaik. You really *don't* want 2-digit year imput, it's a major pita. get used to 4-digit years. I feel sorry for out descendants who'll have to fix the Y10K bug when years become 5 digits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
