UX-BASIC Date Processing Enhancement Notice |
However, there may be code which relies on the old implementation that 19nn years are always two-digit, while all others are four-digit. Some programs may benefit by being re-coded to always expect four-digit years. Some programs did not anticipate the need for four digit years in their input fields but did utilize the DAY and DTE functions for manipulating, storing and restoring dates. Provided that such programs manipulate only a narrow band of dates they would benefit from a solution commonly called a sliding frame century. The sliding frame century allows for the setting of an environment variable that sets a range of 100 years that will be considered the current century such that all dates that fall within that band will be handled as two digit years while all others would be four. The user relies on his/her knowledge of the application to determine which actual century a two digit year belongs. A new environment variable has been introduced for UX-Basic to facilitate a sliding frame century. The following is the name and settings:
