IYR has always been a kind of stupid function. That is why I asked for (and
got almost immediately) the IYR4 function. No matter what your date
settings you will get the correct year.
Use that year in the RDATE function and you will not get any surprises.

Subject: iyr comparisons
Hi all,
It seems a comparison like
If (iyr(.date_1)) > (iyr(.date_2)) then ...
uses the number of digits set in the date format.
So with a two digit year format (20)01 < (19)99
if date_1 > .date_2 then ..
compares accurately regardless.
Is this a bug, or is there a reason for it?
Thanks,
Ben Petersen
