Marc, the date year setting is the first year of a century of dates, allowing 
you to use two digit
dates without confusing the system. The settings below will give you the years 
1905 through 2004,
which is not what I think you probably need. 

Try:

SET DATE FORMAT 'MM/DD/YYYY'
SET DATE SEQUENCE MMDDYY
SET DATE YEAR 80
SET DATE CENTURY 19

That will give you 1980 - 2079
