Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.x
FIX:
This parameter will cause the default dump format for dates to have a four digit year. In Progress Version 8 and earlier, EXPORT, MESSAGE, PUT UNFORMATTED,
and dumping of dates (which actually uses the EXPORT statement) uses the default format for dates "99/99/99" when the date falls within 100 years of the -yy offset.
The startup parameter, -yr4def, will cause the default dump format for dates to be "99/99/9999" instead of "99/99/99" regardless of whether it is within 100 years of the -yy startup. This affects EXPORT, MESSAGE, and PUT UNFORMATTED statements so that all dates in an EXPORT, MESSAGE, or PUT UNFORMATTED statement will default to 4 digit years.
