Default Century on AS/400

[Adam Woodhouse]

Thanks for your feedback.

Actually we are not messing with Y2K issues at all.  All coding was done months
ago and has passed all Government set standards and protocols.  The very last
item to do is set the PHD's default century, I just haven't been pushing to get
it done.  Only a handful of our screens will have this "hole".  Plus AGF doesn't
run PH on AS/400, they have their own system on UNIX.  It is the smaller mutual
fund out-sourcing company they own "AdminSource" that runs PH on AS/400.

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 :-(
