There is a known problem with the VADS dates package. This package
provides textual I/O routines for date values. If you entered a
2 digit year number then it always assumed the twentieth century
(ie: 19xx).
We have a corrected version of this package available through our
support organization. The new version allows you to specifiy a sliding
window to define which century to add to a 2 digit year.
Please note that this package was never used inside VADS. The dates
package was provided for use by our customers. VADS uses operating
sytem routines for obtaining date/time information and encoding it
for storage. Because of this Rational cannot provide a Y2K guarantee
on any platform that is itself not Y2K compliant.
