Y2K - am I missing something?

[georgia miller]

Shawn, 
I ran into this problem yesterday and this is how I solved it.   I recently read the paper that Bob is talking about so I knew what the problem was.

I'm on PH 8.19.C3 on HP3000

define d-first-date date = &
  19000000 + (last-yymm-closed of xfile * 100) + 01 &
   if last-yy-closed of xfile > 70 &
  else 20000000 + (last-yymm-closed of xfile * 100) + 01
define d-last-day-month date = lastday(d-first-date)

So what I had to do is add my own century included definition so it would work with 2 centuries, either 1999 or 2000.

Shawn, I am using TimeWarp to do my yr2000 testing.
