how to make DEFAULT CENTURY be the current century

[Robert J.M. Edis]

In the SYSTEMS options of the PHD use 'ALLOW CENTURY' and 'INPUT CENTURY 19
FROM YEAR 50' for example.  If a user enters 990122 the century will default
to 19; if they entered 290122 it would default to 20.  The 'ALLOW CENTURY
gives them the option to enter the century if they wish.

The syntax 'DEFAULT CENTURY 19' is used in functions such as ADDCENTURY.
However the new CENTURY() function can use pivot year logic.

It's all in the PH series 8 manual (only on CD ROM).

	We are upgrading to 8.19C3 and doing all our Y2K stuff, but my
question is,
	how do you make the DEFAULT CENTURY parameter be dynamic to pick up
the
	current century.  Do you need to just not specify it?  For example,
I want
	to allow people to enter the century with the date if they want to,
but if
	they don't we want to default to the current century.  We aren't
going to
	display any of the centuries in the reports or screens because no
one
	cares.

	ideas?

	thanks,
	shawn
