on UniData 6.1:

FOR I = 8 TO 99 WHILE ICONV('1/1/':I,'D') > DATE()
Y = I
NEXT I
CRT OCONV(ICONV('1/1/':Y,'D'),'D4/')
CRT OCONV(ICONV('1/1/':Y+1,'D'),'D4/')

01/01/2029
01/01/1930

So any two- (or one-) digit year from 08 (8) to 29
is assumed to be in the future.

Questions: Does this threshold increment over time?
Is there a UDT.OPTIONS for this? Does the threshold
change from o/s to o/s? Will I be around to type
'4/2/56' and get '04/02/2056' ?!?

There is an item in the Unidata configuration parameters to move the
start of the 100 year period covered by two digit year numbers.

UniVerse and QM do much the same. Other systems also hopefully have
something similar.

In UV this is the CENTURYPIVOT parameter in UVCONFIG, but I don't
think this is configurable in D3.
On 7.4.2 and 7.5 it seems to be 30, i.e. 1-1-29 = 2029, 1-1-30 = 1930.
Hopefully it floats, so that next year it will be 31, etc.

IIRC it doesn't float in "generic" pick (or whatever it's called these
days). Maybe one day we'll see it on Letterman. <rim shot>

'set-date-window' is not in the D3 v7.5 Ref but I believe this command

T Man,

Thanks for remembering. I wrote this back in '99 as part of the Y2K effort.

set-date-window ? has some help.
