Re: [open-cobol-list] Century in DATE.

[Bill Klein]

I think that OC supports what was added in the '02 Standard, i.e.

   Accept field-1 from DATE yyyyMMDD
         or
   Accept field-2 from DAY YYYYDD

where "YYYYMMDD" and "YYYYDDD" are reserved words (or reserved in context, I
can't remember which)

For an online syntax diagram, see:
   http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/IGY3LR40/6.2.1.2 

or check out the '02 Standard if you have it.
