[RBASE-L] - Re: 2008 instead of 2008

[Albert Berry]

Set your date sequence to MMDDYY and your date format to MMDDYYYY.  When 
the user keys in MMDDYY, the system will use the century and year to add 
the 20 up front.

The problematic date (contribdate) is inserted by way of a form which is
entered by the user. We use the four digit year format here.  Issue arises
when the user enters 12/12/08, but not if 12/12/2008 is entered.

Startup.rmd includes the commands

SET DATE CENTURY 19
SET DATE YEAR 50
