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.
