One way is to 
1) set a variable equal to a date  (vdate1)
2) set a variable equal to another date 100 years later (vdate2)
3)  set var a variable equal to the difference (vDifference = .vDate2 -
vDate1)
4)  issue an update command (update table set DateColumn = (DateColumn +
.vDifference)

Hello everyone!

We discovered today that many (over 9000) of our year entries we receive
from an imported 3rd-party file are wrong.  That table undergoes a LOT
of changes, so simply reimporting the corrected table isn't an option
for us.

For all the records, how can I do this:

If YEAR in FIELD <= 2035 then YEAR = YEAR + 100

It's probably important to note that the FIELD has a normal date format:
MM/DD/YYYY

Thanks!
