A fact I missed because it was buried in the mess of barely readable code   
:-)

My point was more a jab at Cognos and their (IMNSHO) slow delivery of the   
new improved solves all the year 2k problems version.

But to answer your question, I would probably do:

let AR-YEAR  OF AR-AUDIT-CASH &
  =  ncon(ascii(addcentury(AU-CHECKDATE OF ORDER-HEADER , &
         century(AU-CHECKDATE OF ORDER-HEADER )),8)[1:4])
