Quote from Delphi 4.02 Help on StrToDate:
" The TwoDigitYearCenturyWindow variable controls the interpretation of
two-digit years. If TwoDigitYearCenturyWindow is 0, year values between 0
and 99 are assumed to be in the current century. If
TwoDigitYearCenturyWindow is greater than 0, its value is subtracted from
the current year to determine the "pivot"; years on or after the pivot are
kept in the current century, while years prior to the pivot are moved to the
next century. For example:
Current year
TwoDigitYearCenturyWindow
Pivot date =
mm/dd/03 date =
mm/dd/50 date =
mm/dd/68
1998 0 (default) 1900 1903 1950 1968
2002 0 (default) 2000 2003 2050 2068
1998 50 1948 2003 1950 1968
2000 50 1950 2003 1950 1968
2002 50 1952 2003 2050 1968
2020 50 1970 2003 2050 2068
2020 10 2010 2103 2050 2068
You can use TwoDigitYearCenturyWindow to extend the life of legacy
applications that are tied to two-digit-year data entry. But the best
solution is to require four-digit input for years. "
