Y2K Clarification

Hello,

I would like it if someone could confirm something for me.

It is my understanding from what I have read on the Cognos web site that
if we have CENTURY EXCLUDED and DEFAULT CENTURY 19 in the dictionary,
then the DATE function will not be able to return a value of 2000/02/29
or any date after December 31, 1999 for that matter.

Is this correct or is there a way the DATE function can still give us
February 29, 2000 without causing a data conversion error? 
(I was not the one who did the Y2K conversion, but I am now the one who
is testing and debuging it because the person who did the conversion is
currently on maternity leave, so my knowledge of Y2K issues is limited)

Thanks,
Gilles Belliveau
