Century Parameter Processing

Dates containing a century of 00 are processed by the date and time routines with a century of 19 or 20, as determined by the century parameter in the configuration file in the univ.cfg file located in the IFS in the /EnvironmentDirectory/lawson/system directory. However, most routines do not change the century field in the input date . Only U@DATECOMP, U@CHKLEAPYR1, U@DATEEDIT, U@COMPJULIAN, and U@ISVALIDDATE replace a century of 00 by storing the century in the input data. For more information, see Lawson Administration: Server Setup and Maintenance.

Note: The Julian date is based on the number of days since October 15, 1582.
