Default Century on AS/400

[Pickering, John (NORBORD)]

The input century window stuff works just fine and as documented in version
8.19.c4. But since I was moving from an earlier version I recompiled
everything anyway. That's probably a good idea even if it looks like you
don't need it.

Nice to see a real AS/400 PowerHouse user on this list :-) You seem to be a
rare breed.

But I'm concerned that a mutual fund company is still messing with Y2K
issues :-(
