Tom,

In my rbengine76.cfg I have:

SET DATE CENTURY 19
SET DATE YEAR 50

The default .cfg sets the year to 30.  What the combination of these two
does is tell R:BASE that any two-digit year over the DATE YEAR value is in
the default century.  So '88' will be interpreted as 1988, whereas '20' will
be interpreted as 2020.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - 0008 instead of 2008

Good Morning all,

I know it is an easy change to make, but I sure can't remember how to do it.

My default dates are registering as 0008 rather than 2008 ... where and how
do I adjust the century?

Thank you

Tom Eldred
