used CENTURY EXCLUDED on elements

[Robert J.M. Edis]

G'day all

I have a system where most of the dates are CENTURY EXCLUDED in DATE Size 6,
PHDATE or NUMERIC Size 6 types.  The PowerHouse versions are 6.10 (current)
and 7.10F (soon to be).

To make sure the date functions work ok we plan on making the PHD CENTURY
INCLUDED with the DEFAULT CENTURY 2000 (to handle 2/29/2000).  No, I repeat,
NO date expansion will be done.  Some PHD date elements are actually Size 8.

The 7.10 manual indicates that I can specify CENTURY EXCLUDED in the ELEMENT
definitions.  I am testing my PHD changes under 6.00C and getting compile
errors on this syntax.  I intend to use USAGES for the date elements and
want to put CENTURY EXCLUDED in the USAGE definitions.

Has anybody done something similar?
Did this option not exist prior to version 7.10? (I can't find the 6.n
manuals anywhere)
Does it actually work under 7.10?
Can I use CENTURY EXCLUDED in the USAGE definitions?

TIA
