Roy, do you mean to acknowledge George Timson? XAK assumed responsibility for FileMan after George, the principal developer of FileMan, departed from the DVA. Regards, Richard.

RE: [Hardhats-members] Date/Time functions...
305 means how many years since 1700. Why 1700? George Timson has said: No significance. I wish I had started back earlier. I just wanted all medical dates (including DOBs) to have 7 digits in the integer part. Greg Kreis has said: My take on it is that the VA had to represent veterans with dates of birth in the 1800s. By subtracting 1700 from an 1800's DOB, you get a three digit year and you therefore have a century encoded in it with a single digit - you save a character and in the late 1970s, disk space was not cheap. Saving a character in all dates stored in a medical database was worth it. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Kevin Toppenberg Sent: Sunday, March 20, 2005 8:28 AM To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Hardhats-members] Date/Time functions...
