(...) Yeah, the windowing/epoching/whatevering isn't a big deal. The thing is, they *hardcoded* the 29. They didn't even make it a constant, defined at the top of the code (or in a copybook). So in some number of years, someone is going to have to (...) (24 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Sure. That's a pretty typical Y2K fix. And it's basically what you do as a human when looking at a two-digit year. (If I tell you that the expiration date on my driver's license is 12-30-02, you assume 2002. If I tell you it's 12-30-98, you (...) (24 years ago, 8-Apr-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Scary bit of COBOL code one of my co-workers ran across today (he was given the code because it's the closest thing to documentation available for a file he has to deal with): IF FLD_XYZ_YR < 29 THEN FLD_XYZ_YR4 = 2000 + FLD_XYZ_YR4 ELSE (...)

(...) I can see their point on that one. Indention _is_ a logical way to keep blocks seperated, and it's easier for new users than keeping {s and }s matched up. It's important to note that it's only _relative_ indentation that is important -- you (...) (24 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
