CENTURY attribute
The CENTURY attribute defines expansion
of the year in a DATE or DATETIME field.
Syntax
CENTURY = { "R" | "C" |"F" | "P" }Usage
The CENTURY attribute
specifies how to expand abbreviated one- and two-digit year specifications
in a DATE and DATETIME field.
Century expansion is based on this attribute and on the current year defined by the system clock.
The CENTURY attribute
can specify any of four algorithms to expand abbreviated
years into four-digit year values that end with the same digits (or
digit) that the user has entered.
CENTURY supports
the same settings as the DBCENTURY environment variable,
but with a scope that is restricted to a single field.
If the CENTURY and DBCENTURY settings
are different, CENTURY takes precedence.
Unlike DBCENTURY,
the CENTURY attribute is not case sensitive. However,
we recommend that you use uppercase letters in the attribute.
