Set Century (CEESCEN) API

The Set Century (CEESCEN) API sets the century within which 2-digit year values are assumed to lie. Use it in conjunction with CEEDAYS or CEESECS when processing date values that contain 2-digit years (in the YYMMDD format), and when the ILE default century interval does not meet the requirements of a particular application.

Authorities and Locks

None.

Required Parameter

century_start (input)

An integer between 0 and 100. A value of 80 (the ILE default) means all 2-digit years lie within the 100-year window starting 80 years before the system date. For example, in 1990, all 2-digit years are assumed to represent dates between 1910 and 2009, inclusive.

Omissible Parameter

fc (output/optional)

A 12-byte feedback code passed by reference. If specified as an argument, a condition token is returned to the calling procedure. If not specified and the requested operation was not successfully completed, the condition is signaled to the condition manager.
