No - I think the problem is that you missed the point ... and COGNOS
missed the boat on this one.

I would think that if you are truly Y2K compliant and a user doesn't
enter a century, then the default century should be the century from the
system date not some arbitrary value from a dictionary that is
applicable to only a single product (COGNOS).  If COGNOS wants to
implement the option of "INPUT CENTURY..." - that's fine and should
overwrite the default century calculation... but the user should not
have to be concerned with modify the dictionary on 12-31-1999.
