Re: [GNC] Entering a 2-digit year generates the wrong date

[John Ralls]

Very interesting. It reproduces for me on 10.11 as well as on 10.9 on which it 
was built, but not on 10.13 or 10.14.

I'll investigate further...

John Ralls

Sorry, you did, in your opening message. I got you and David crossed-up in my 
head.
I tried changing locale and time zone, no effect. I’ll fire up a 10.11 VM later 
and see if I can reproduce the problem there.

Re: [GNC] Entering a 2-digit year generates the wrong date

[John Ralls]

Set the read-only threshold to 0 to turn off the read-only by date feature. 

I can partly reproduce your situation--it seems that the vendor bill entry (and 
probably the invoice and expense entries as well, they share a lot of code) is 
doing date detection during input. I also get a warning about dates being 
out-of-range if I begin with a 2018 date and backspace away the 8.

I think that’s separate from Chris Velevitch’s problem which he reports affects 
all registers.

Regards,
John Ralls

Sorry, that's a typo in my email example. You can't actually enter 2

I've got no idea what you are talking about. I don't even know how you got
to that screen shown in your attachment.

I'm talking about entering transaction dates in any account register.

I cannot enter a date that old (the maximum I can set the read-only threshold 
date is 3650 days).  But regardless, I continue to get the same error message

Re: [GNC] Entering a 2-digit year generates the wrong date

[John Ralls]

Delimiters are required for date entry, so the second and fourth versions won’t 
work. I had no trouble with the first and third on the Vendor bill entry form.

Re: [GNC] Entering a 2-digit year generates the wrong date

[dlbonline]

I am localized to US settings, and the date strings I have tried are:
05/21/2018
05212018
05/21/18
052118

The first one  gets the closest.  This appears to be a problem only on the
vendor bill entry form, and no other forms that I have tried (which is just
a few).

I just tested on 10.14 beta and got the expected 2010. What are your locale
settings and what string did you enter for the date?
