Century Start (Magic xpa 4.x)
The Century Start setting enables Magic xpa to interpret all dates that are input using a two-character mask for the year component in pictures of date fields such as MM/DD/YY.
The Century Start setting specifies the year that serves as the crossing between centuries when interpreting date variables. Any two-digit value of a year component less than the year represented by the Century Start setting causes the date to be interpreted as a 21st century date. Any value of a year component greater than or equal to the year represented by the Century Start setting causes the date to be interpreted as a 20th century date. For example,
for Century = 1960,
01/20/70 is interpreted as 01/20/1970
01/20/50 is interpreted as 01/20/2050
for Century = 1980,
01/20/70 is interpreted as 01/20/2070
01/20/50 is interpreted as 01/20/2050
01/20/90 is interpreted as 01/20/1990
